Holy Berry – Extrait de Parfum

D'ORSAY is a Paris fragrance house named after the dandy Alfred d'Orsay. Holy Berry as an Extrait de Parfum is its ritual of temptation – fruity, creamy and surprisingly holy.

Holy Berry smells of strawberry milk that loses its innocence through cardamom. In the heart iris and jasmine absolute settle over it like powder and silk, and an accord of white oud, vanilla and sandalwood gives it a bright, soft, almost sacral ground.

Holy Berry suits anyone who likes sweetness without wanting dessert – for the evening, a date, days when you want to treat yourself. As an extrait it is dense and long-lasting, loveliest in autumn and winter but not limited to them.

What makes Holy Berry special to us is a name that keeps its promise: the berry is almost a little holy because it stays creamy and bright instead of sticky. A fruity with posture – and a wink.
