About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Le Baiser du Dragon opens with a liqueur-like rush of amaretto and bitter almond, sharpened by neroli and softened by gardenia. The heart turns woody and powdery: cedar and iris meet jasmine, rose, and musk, creating a textured, slightly retro floral core. The base is where the dragon truly breathes—vetiver, patchouli, benzoin, amber, and a second wave of cedar are laced with dark chocolate and caramel, leaving a bittersweet, resinous trail that lingers for hours.
This is a collector's oriental: dense, sweet, and earthy, with almond running from top to bottom. It suits those who love gourmand-adjacent classics without overt sugar, and who appreciate a fragrance that feels opulent rather than fresh. Best for evening wear in cool weather, or for anyone building a Cartier or early-2000s designer archive. The chocolate-caramel facet may read heavy on some skin, so test before committing to a full bottle.
中文簡介
Le Baiser du Dragon 以苦杏仁酒同苦杏仁開場,帶橙花同梔子花的清亮,隨後轉入雪松、鳶尾、茉莉、玫瑰同麝香嘅木質粉香核心。基調由香根草、廣藿香、安息香、琥珀同二次雪松構成,並以黑朱古力同焦糖點綴,留下苦甜交織、樹脂感強嘅餘韻。呢支係典型東方木質,杏仁由頭帶到尾,氣質濃郁、甜美又帶泥土感,適合鍾意美食調但唔想太甜嘅收藏家。秋冬夜晚、正式場合或想營造神秘感時用最好。由於朱古力焦糖部分喺某些皮膚上可能偏厚重,建議先試香再入手。

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
