Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle - J.C. Ellena - Cologne Bigarade
Perfumer: Jean-Claude Ellena
Cologne Bigarade is a unique Eau de Cologne. It was built around the idea of bitter freshness. Following the pioneering work of Edmond Roudnitska, Jean-Claude Ellena based this innovative scent on a unique essence of bitter orange that was made especially for him. Stripped to its essentials - hesperidic notes of bitter orange, faceted by faint brushstrokes of rose, and sitting on a base of hay and cedar, the fragrance pushes the bitter fresh idea to its limits. The result: A modern classic.
