Paprika Brasil Eau de Toilette

Paprika Brasil Eau de Toilette, the devastating power of paprika and brasil wood, softened with iris. "A local tinctorial wood once widely used in Europe to colour fabrics red, 'brasil wood' gave its name to the country. With its power of suggestion, 'bois de braise' sparked my imagination and I chose paprika, a Brazilian pepper, to illustrate it. By mixing and matching, and using an iris-reseda-pepper association, I recreated its scent, which is more secretive and discreet than its taste." Jean-Claude Ellena
