Douce amère (EDP)

"Douce amère is an unusual unisex eau de parfum built around the tension between bitter green herbs and soft, sweet sensuality. Its character is associated with absinthe-like wormwood, aromatic anise, and a dry herbal opening. White floral facets give the composition an elegant, expressive heart. Vanilla and amber-like sweetness gradually soften the bitterness in the drydown. The overall effect is refined, distinctive, and slightly mysterious rather than conventionally sweet. It is a signature-style Serge Lutens composition for wearers who appreciate unusual contrasts and strong artistic character."
