The origin of Under My Skin

Under My Skin is my interpretation of the animal theme, and I was fascinated by strong animal scents, and I tried to make my own, but I had to realize that what I like in other people's creations is not necessarily what I like to create myself.

So, after adding animal materials going in the direction of the heavy or the soft or the stable, I had to gradually eliminate them, to arrive at this solution that suits me best: a cured, slightly animal, powdered, velvety and elegant material that fits my personality and my style, and when I finally understood that this was my path, I was finally happy and relieved.

The name comes from a conversation with an artist and fragrance enthusiast, who said that it was as if the scent emanated from the skin. This concept of <unk> Under My Skin <unk> encouraged me in the idea of moving towards something more subtly <unk> human <unk> than openly <unk> animal <unk>. The core of the scent is a combination of animal and cooked notes tamed by iris butter (with 15% irony!). After working on this core, I worked on the background notes, composed of Tolu Baume, Baume du Pérou, Fève Tonka and several types of wood.

The final stage of the work was the opening, where I used grapefruit and lavender, and I used to hate lavender, but here it plays a subtle and elegant role, and I was amazed at how well it combined with this perfume, bringing lightness and elegance.
