12.1 UN CRIME EXOTIQUE Eau de Parfum

Un Crime Exotique turns a cup of spiced black tea and the scent of gingerbread into something more unexpected. The playful indulgence in its name lies in bringing that familiar gourmand pleasure together with elemi resin and a tea-chypre composition.

Bergamot brightens the tea, while Ceylon cinnamon and star anise enrich the gingerbread accord. Elemi adds a resinous dimension to the spices. Maté and cocoa powder accompany sandalwood, giving the fragrance darker, drier nuances alongside its edible warmth.

Tea is not merely a fresh introduction here, and gingerbread is not an isolated dessert note. Their combination makes the composition warm and full-bodied, with a slightly old-fashioned richness. The resin and sandalwood keep the gourmand theme connected to a more complex perfume character, rather than a straightforward recreation of something from a bakery.

Fragrance notes: bergamot, elemi resin, black tea leaves, gingerbread, Ceylon cinnamon, star anise, maté, cocoa and sandalwood.

This fragrance is for you if: you enjoy dark, spicy gourmands and the comforting smell of tea with baking spices, supported by resin and wood.

This fragrance may not be your best match if: you want tea to feel airy, green and delicately fresh; this interpretation is warmer, richer and distinctly gourmand.

Choose this fragrance if: you are drawn to the unusual pairing of elemi resin and gingerbread around black tea, rather than a conventional vanilla-led gourmand.

How to apply — general guidance: spray onto clean, dry skin, for example on the neck or the inside of the wrists. Allow to dry without rubbing. Avoid contact with the eyes and follow the instructions on the packaging.
