Emeraude

Emeraude is a classic oriental fragrance with a bright, citrusy opening that quickly softens into a warm, powdery, balsamic base. It evokes memories of vintage elegance and is often compared to Shalimar, though it tends to be lighter and more delicate, with less emphasis on leather or incense. The fragrance features a soft blend of bergamot, lemon, orange, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, and Brazilian rosewood, settling into a rich, vanilla-amber-sandalwood base with subtle patchouli and opoponax. It is most suitable for fall and winter, ideal for evening wear or formal occasions, and best worn in moderation. Despite its affordable price and widespread availability, many users note that the modern formulation lacks the depth and richness of vintage versions, which are often praised as a timeless, sophisticated scent with superior longevity.
