Volées is the scent of a perfectly executed heist—swift, elegant, and just dangerous enough to be unforgettable. Inspired by Guerlain’s Épices Volées, it captures that thrilling moment when bright citrus flashes like a knife of light… and then vanishes into warm spices, green herbs, and ambered woods, leaving behind a trail that feels expensive, mysterious, and impeccably composed.

It begins with a crisp, sparkling lift: bergamot and lemon cut through the air with polished clarity, while coriander adds a luminous, aromatic snap—fresh, slightly peppery, and effortlessly chic. A ribbon of artemisia threads through the opening like a cool green whisper—herbal, bittersweet, and intriguingly refined—giving the brightness a confident edge, like a tailored suit with a hidden blade.

As the top notes settle, Volées becomes warmer and more captivating. Sage unfurls in dry, velvety waves—clean yet sensual—while cardamom glows softly, adding a creamy spice that feels both comforting and sophisticated. Then clove appears—not loud, not sugary—just a slow ember of warmth, the kind of spice that feels like it’s coming from within the skin rather than sitting on top of it.

And right at the heart, a subtle surprise: Bulgarian rose. Not a bouquet—more like a satin lining. It slips between the herbs and spices with quiet elegance, softening the sharp edges and adding a plush, romantic undertone that makes the whole composition feel more human, more intimate, more “come closer.”

The drydown is where Volées truly earns its name. Patchouli arrives with chypre-like sophistication—earthy, smooth, and beautifully structured—giving the fragrance its refined backbone. Sandalwood follows, creamy and polished, turning the spicy heart into a soft, luxurious warmth. And then come the resins: benzoin and labdanum, wrapping everything in a golden, balsamic glow—ambered, slightly smoky, faintly sweet—like the last trace of incense in a room long after the candles have been blown out.

Volées doesn’t shout. It haunts—in the best way.
Aromatic and warm-spiced, herbal yet plush, bright at the start and deep at the finish… it’s the kind of fragrance that feels like you’ve stolen something rare and beautiful—and you’re getting away with it.
