Commune de Paris

Discover Commune de Paris by Astier de Villatte.

For Commune de Paris – a rebellious and edgy label designed by three Parisian creators of fashion and product design sets the tone. Here, Astier de Villatte and Françoise Caron have imagined Cologne 1871, a subversive Eau de Cologne. At first, it hits like an explosion of Sicilian lemons, with rosemary and bergamot. Then, underneath its acidic exterior, Cologne 1871 hides the ineffable charm of its powdery origins. Suave labdanum, benzoin, cedarwood and patchouli are combined with the first two synthetic molecules ever created – coumarin, which smells like cut grass, and benzalehide, like almonds – giving it a truly unique flavour. Contains essences of Italian lemon, rosemary, bergamot, pink pepper extract, lavender absolute, labdanum, benzoin, patchouli, vetiver, cedarwood, “benzaldehyde” created in 1866, “coumarin” created in 1870.

Cologne designed by Françoise Caron and the Takasago perfume team.
