Accord Profile

Accord breakdown

Aromatic-SpicyCardamom/ginger/geranium/lavender-driven aromatic-spicy core30%

Customer interpretation

Parfumo and official descriptions emphasize spicy/aromatic heart elements (cardamom/ginger on Bleu Électrique; lavender/geranium in La Nuit variants), making an aromatic-spicy accord the dominant character in heart/top interplay.

Fruity-CitrusGreen-apple + citrus bright opening20%

Customer interpretation

Users and the product pyramid list green-apple plus lemon/bergamot/mandarin as the recognizable opening fruit/citrus — this creates a clear fruity-citrus top accord.

Sweet Gourmand (Vanilla/Tonka)Warm sweet dry-down from vanilla and tonka20%

Customer interpretation

Multiple user reviews and a sweet, slightly gourmand dry-down (vanilla/tonka) that gives the scent its 'electric cashmere' / soft sweetness in the base.

Cashmere/WoodyCashmere wood/cedar tonal backing giving a soft woody foundation20%

Customer interpretation

Base listings consistently include cashmere wood, cedar and vetiver notes that provide a soft, warm woody underpinning to the vanilla/tonka dry-down.

Fresh Synthetic/Ambrox-like BrightnessModern synthetic 'blue' freshness and lift10%

Customer interpretation

Community comments and the 'Bleu/Électrique' naming indicate a modern synthetic fresh/blue lift (ginger/cardamom/ozonic faceting) that creates the electrified top-layer.

What to expect

Evening Social / Night OutVery Good — stands up in social evening settings8.0/10

Office / Daytime ProfessionalAverage — acceptable for low-dose daytime but not universally office-friendly5.0/10
