About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Houbigant's Aperçu, launched in 2000, is a chypre that opens with a brisk green and citrus accord—bergamot, Amalfi lemon, and jasmine—before revealing a spicy heart of cinnamon, neroli, tuberose, and more citrus. The base anchors with oakmoss, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, clove, and cassia, creating a warm, woody, and earthy drydown. Collectors who appreciate classic chypres with a modern twist will find this compelling. The prominent warm spicy and woody accords make it suited for those who enjoy depth and longevity. Ideal for evening wear or cooler months, it projects sophistication and is a noteworthy addition for fans of Houbigant's heritage.
