Jean-Paul Guerlain's last masterpiece, Épices Volées is a deep and multi-faceted Woody Chypre fragrance that embodies the art of olfactory balance. Originally created as Arsène Lupin Voyou, it was renamed and welcomed into the L'Art et la Matière collection in 2021. The composition opens with a refreshing burst of bergamot and lemon, intertwined with aromatic coriander and the herbal bitterness of artemisia. At its heart, warm spices — clove and cardamom — meet the elegance of sage and Bulgarian rose. The drydown reveals a rich foundation of patchouli and sandalwood, softened by the amber warmth of benzoin and labdanum. A fragrance of two faces: hot and cold, brazen and refined.
