Jacques Cavallier

"Alchimie is a warm, sophisticated fruity-floral amber fragrance created for women. Its opening combines ripe fruits, tart berries, citrus, and delicate green-floral nuances. The heart develops into a soft floral composition featuring acacia, wisteria, coconut, heliotrope, jasmine, rose, and lily-of-the-valley. A sweet, enveloping base of caramel, vanilla, tonka bean, amber, sandalwood, licorice, and musk gives the fragrance its distinctive elixir-like character. The overall impression is lush, powdery, sweet, and gently spicy, with a strong oriental-floral identity. Alchimie was launched in 1998 and is no longer produced."

Reviews Summary

“Alchimie is experienced as a warm, sophisticated fruity-floral oriental fragrance. Its sweet peach, berry, caramel, vanilla, and amber character is balanced by a complex floral heart and soft woods. The drydown is notably rich, powdery, creamy, and gently spicy, with an enveloping and somewhat magical character. Its strong presence and sweetness make it especially suited to cool-weather evening wear.”
