$145.00 USD
AU DELÀ - NARCISSE 30 ML

Modern vintage: made with real oakmoss, this authentic chypre is an homage to the bold classics of French mid-century fragrance. Au Delà - Narcisse is an amber soaked, white floral loaded with genuine (and costly) botanical absolutes. Resins and woods in the base give this fragrance the complex bone structure of a true chypre. Au Delà reveals a new facet with every wear.

I grew up speaking French and regularly visiting family in France. My aunts, grandmother, and family friends all wore the gorgeous classics of French perfumery. My memories of the subtle architecture of those fragrances are at the heart of how I think about creating perfume. The classics are bold and daring. They were made when artists like Picasso and Matisse were re-inventing art. We didn't see that boldness again in perfume until niche fragrances arrived.

Au Delà - Narcisse is my interpretation of a classic floral chypre: floral but earthy, bold, and subtle. While composing it, I listened to Olivier Messïaen's symphonic masterpiece, which is full of contrast, dissonance, harmony, and beauty.

Vintage and Nostalgic

My preference in fragrance usually learns towards vintage (houses like Guerlain, Chanel, Santa maria Novella, Oriza legrand and Lutens are amongst my favs) but I am absolutely enamoured of Bruno Fazzolari's work and recently bought three full bottles of very different scents from his house, and am in love with all three.
Au Dela Narcisse is a throwback to a vintage chypre, but without the overwhelming heaviness of classics like Shalimar. (My mother wore Shalimar, and I had a similar relationship with her to that of Christina Crawford with her mother!)
As a kid, the highlight of December was being taken to a very fancy department store in Glasgow that sold only the best and most expensive products, and on entering the store there was a wonderful smell of vintage perfume and this conjures that up for me, and the anticipation of shopping for Christmas presents. It definitely has a grande Dame air about it, so it is not one I would wear often and more perhaps on a pocket square in my top pocket, or one spray on a scarf rather than on my skin. What I love about it is that hint of luxury without being overwhelmed-rich and expensive smelling but never cloying.

This one took a minute!

I ordered a set of testers after hearing about lamp black from a fellow designer/ artist friend. I decided to try one each day and take notes so that I could decide which one(s) to bring on a trip for further living-in and testing before buying a potential signature scent. This one was the first I tested; I found it quite powerful at first, and a single spray on my wrists lasted all day- even after some sweaty yard work! I noted that it was perhaps too strong, and my plan for orderly testing went a bit out the windy in the heat tix days before my trip, so I brought all of them except this one with me. While I enjoyed all the others, for different reasons, I ordered a full bottle of this on my return because it basically haunted me. I found myself missing its powerful Scorpio vibes. I love that it smells gender neutral; has a spiciness and a sort of bass note quality (if it were sound). It’s one that you def don’t want to overdo, but becomes a subtle and harmonious undertone over the course of a day. Not loud, but persistent and persuasive. Thanks for making such wonderful scents!

Love .....

An intense, and for me, emotional perfume...this big and bodacious floral takes me somewhere beautiful. I feel so pretty wearing this. I get all kinds of compliments.
And it lasts a good long while. So glad I found it. If you love floral loveliness that trails nicely, you will love this one. It's a winner.

Love at first sniff

I'd had a couple samples of Au Dela Narcisse that I enjoyed very much and used up in short order. However, a full-sized bottle was not in the budget. When I saw that a travel size was available, I happily bought one. It's a treasured addition to my perfume collection.

Modern classic

I love it! Very classic in feel but with warmth and simplicity. Au Dela stood out to me in a sea of samples and have wanted it for a few years, I was so happy to see a travel size available. This will be my wedding perfume.
