Nonchalant
Contradictions In ILK
This perfume is inspired by a woman who carried her numerous accolades and characteristics with all the breeziness that French women are famous for. The first black film star, world renowned dancer, bi-sexual, wartime spy and American expat living in Paris - Josephine Baker is still the epitome of timeless, glamorous cool.
Passionate French rose laced with tart red berries, playful violets and succulent orange flesh. Completed by a heady fusion of brandy, chypre, spice and balsamic. A tinkling, easy, bold laugh of a scent that leaves you spellbound.
Have a look at Nonchalant's contradicting paired scent, Infatuated. Each pair is harmoniously crafted so that each highlights and subdues certain qualities of the other to create a unique third or fourth scent depending on which way round you layer.
Extrait De Parfum, 20% Oil Concentrate. Cruelty free and ecologically responsible.
