Jean-Claude Ellena

"Bigarade Concentrée is a refined citrus fragrance centered on the bitter, aromatic character of bigarade, or bitter orange. Jean-Claude Ellena gives the citrus opening a transparent, elegant quality rather than making it loud or sweet. A soft rose facet develops in the heart, adding gentle floral polish to the composition. Grass and hay create a dry green nuance, while cedar provides understated woody structure in the drydown. The fragrance is often regarded as a richer and more concentrated interpretation of the Cologne Bigarade idea. Its overall character is minimalist, sophisticated, airy, and quietly distinctive."
