Contre-Jour Absolu de Parfum
Contre-Jour is sunlight fractured through water—that suspended moment between dive and surface, when the world above becomes a shimmering abstraction. This is not a fragrance about the swim. It's about the held breath. The weightlessness. The absolute refusal to come up for air before you're ready.
The Opening: Bright mandarin and blood orange collide with a crisp ozonic burst—effervescent, electric, the shock of cold on sun-warmed skin. This is what jumping in feels like.
The Heart: Orange blossom and delicate neroli bloom through a transparent aquatic accord, watery but never thin. Light bending through chlorine and salt and the memory of summer afternoons with nowhere else to be.
The Dry Down: Clean musks and pale woods dry soft against the skin, that sun-bleached warmth that lingers after the water evaporates. The pleasant exhaustion of a day spent doing absolutely nothing important.
Concentration: Absolu de Parfum (25%)
Crafted in: Grasse, France
Formulation: Vegan | Cruelty-Free
Contre-Jour isn't about the destination. It's about staying submerged a little longer than you should—because the light looks better from down here. Wear it when ordinary hours feel like stolen ones.
Character: Luminous, aquatic, effortlessly golden
Wear: Sunlit days and warm nights that refuse to end
For: The one who never checks the time
