Sur tes lèvres. E.Q. – Eau de Parfum

D'ORSAY is a Paris fragrance house named after the dandy Alfred d'Orsay – and Sur tes lèvres. E.Q. is its bestseller: a unisex scent that tells love as the extension of a kiss.

Sur tes lèvres smells of iris settling softly, almost creamily, onto the skin. Pink pepper and ambrette give it a dry, slightly nutty spark, jasmine in the heart keeps everything bright, and cashmeran and ambroxan carry it into a warm, velvety musk.

Sur tes lèvres suits the days when you get close to someone – a date, a long breakfast, an evening that runs longer than planned. It is built so quietly for everyone that it feels natural on any skin.

What makes Sur tes lèvres special to us is the iris: according to the brand it comes from France, and just two kilos of iris concrete take around a ton of rhizomes and six years of patience. You can smell it – not as cosmetic powder, but as something alive and warm, a little like skin. A scent you understand at once, without it being simple.
