About This Perfume
Irupe by Francesca dell'Oro is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. Irupe was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Bertrand Duchaufour. Top notes are Sea Notes, Bay Leaf and Mint; middle notes are Tuberose, Gardenia, Melon and Carnation; base notes are Cardamom, Pink Pepper, Oakmoss, Woody Notes and Vanilla. "Irupé is the vulgar name of Victoria cruziana, a giant nymphaea that thrives in the waters of South America, particularly the Paraguay and Parana rivers, where its huge rounded leaves float gracefully with water. Irupè is a floral, woody and muscled marine vocation, which empties its center in the most sensual flower of the perfumer, the tuberose. Like the majestic Victoria cruziana, it seems to lean on a lump of salt water, which frees it - consenting - from any excess carnal, washing away everything that disturbs a perfect moment. The notes of tuberous and refined gardenia are made acidic and less penetrating than the fresh melon, while in a colorful game the carnation spreads its peppercorn on the whole. Transparent waves enhance the freshness of laurel and mint. Francesca Dell'Oro gives us a summer reminder of sea, salt, known and loved plants, which blends and confuses with the fragrances of the gardens that reach to the shore. Sun-warmed skin is driven by an icy shiver: cardamom in the jus is colder than ever, and the pungent aroma of pink berries amplifies the frosty breath. They soften this wonderful potion to serve cold, mosses and vanillin, while the sea returns like a reefrain through the salty and dry odor of the wrecked wood thrown by the whimsical shores. "Like a metaphysical embroidery, harmony is the flowing, rarefied and dreamy time, between transparent light architectures and unexpected openings of roses. No borderline between floral wreaths and sinuous marine figures, only unreleased affinities." - a note from the brand.
