D'Orsay Sur tes lèvres EQ EDP

Description

“Sur tes lèvres”, “On your lips”, is master perfumer Dominique Ropion’s take on the memory of a first kiss, built as, in his own words, “a Musky Floral fragrance around the airy, silky hues of Iris, to which I added luminous Jasmine.” Patchouli, Ambroxan and Ambermor raise the temperature after the first hour, giving it an animalic warmth reviewers compare to Prada Infusion d’Iris in mood, though richer and more skin-close.

Scent Character

• Floral (iris, jasmine): 33%
• Amber & Woody (Ambroxan, Ambermor, patchouli): 17%
• Spicy: 17%
• Sweet: 17%
• Woody: 17%

Translation: a musky floral built on iris and jasmine, with pink pepper and amber up top and a warm, animalic woody-amber trio underneath, no real oud, despite the depth.

FAQ

Is Sur tes lèvres E.Q. for men or women?
Unisex. Dominique Ropion built it as a musky floral meant to be shared.

Is there real oud in it?
No. The depth comes from Ambroxan, Ambermor and patchouli, not agarwood.

How does it wear over time?
Jasmine leads early and varies with skin chemistry; after about an hour, patchouli and the amber-woody base intensify the animalic facet.

What season is it best for?
It’s built to wear year-round rather than one season.
