Bertrand Duchaufour's creative process follows two fundamental principals; firstly, he believes that balance is achieved when opposites attract, like yin and yang. Secondly, nothing is lost nor is created, everything is transformed. He distorts and deconstructs nature, playing with contrasts such as vegetal and animalic notes. Bertrand is a veteran perfumer for L'Artisan. Piment Brûlant was inspired by the Aztec drink of xocolatl, the bitter cocoa and chili drink beloved of the warrior king Montezuma. Surprisingly green and fresh on the skin, this wonderful study in contrasts brings the skin alive. Notes of hot pepper, cocoa and vanilla. 100ml
