Contre-Jour

CONTRE-JOUR is more than just a perfume: it is a presence, a fiercely free soul, signed by Annick Ménardo.

Built against conventional norms, this fragrance reveals a dazzling yet elusive trail that invites you to never be defined.

The scent echoes the spirit of the wild Mediterranean flower “Helichrysum,” renowned for its extraordinary longevity—a luminous yellow flower contrasting with the dark, untamed depths of its scent.

Master perfumer Annick Ménardo drew inspiration from this flower to create a fragrance that challenges traditional olfactory structures.

Helichrysum notes unfold a spicy, almondy nature, dancing alongside an intense rose absolute, embracing its shadows and thorns. To imprint this manifesto on the skin, sandalwood oil provides a rhythm, amplifying the enigma of this creation.

Fascinated by the allure of contradictions, Annick Ménardo creates fragrances for a new era, for those who guard their own mysterious essence.
