Cologne Bigarade

(100 ml Eau de Parfum)

Invented in the 17th century, Eau de Cologne has always been a source of inspiration for perfumers. Innovative as ever, Jean-Claude Ellena has updated the formula and created a fragrance with a slightly bitter note. To bring this idea to life, he commissioned the creation of a bitter orange essence specifically for this purpose. Experts describe this fragrance as the ultimate step in the history of Eau de Cologne. Authentic, distinctive, and focused on the essentials. A modern classic.

The Perfumer:
Born into a family of perfumers in Grasse, Jean-Claude Ellena was introduced to perfume-making at the age of 17. From Grasse to New York and Genoa to Paris, this self-taught perfumer worked in the most renowned laboratories. Significantly influenced by Edmond Roudnitska, the perfumer creates concise, not overly concentrated formulas that do justice to the subtle expressiveness of his compositions. For Jean-Claude Ellena, who draws inspiration from everyday life, “perfume is a story of scents, a poetry of memory, and above all, a creation of the mind.”
