Les Abstraits - Des Cendres (from ashes). Des Cendres symbolizes a newly invigorated self, represented by a symphony of brisk woods, sumptuous florals, and animalic leather. Rising from the ashes of pain and loss, a new person emerges, like a phoenix. “Des Cendres was inspired by the connection to wild life, finding myself in nature among trees, flowing water, and animals,” says Les Abstraits founder and creative director Eugen. “The harmony of nature, I learned, could be reflected within.” Des Cendres starts off with a green herbal blast of violet leaf and fresh tuberose cut with bracing galbanum and anise. The tuberose mellows into velvety, sensual lushness, settling onto a bed of smoky, resinous birch tar and leather, with a judicious visitation by hyraceum. Everything we need, Des Cendres seems to say, is already right here. - A note from the brand.
