D'ORSAY Vouloir être ailleurs
19000522640

Soft floral-green nuances define the character of Vouloir être ailleurs. C.G., a fragrance that has become one of the enduring signatures of Maison D'ORSAY. Delicate yet distinctive, it captures the comforting facets of linden blossom supported by subtle woody and honeyed accents.

Fresh lemon tree leaves and angelica introduce the composition with a gentle aromatic brightness. The heart centers on linden flower, bringing a naturally smooth floral character that feels airy and understated. Gradually, acacia wood, beeswax, and cut hay emerge, creating a warm and textured foundation with a tender, slightly honeyed impression.

Originally released as Tilleul in 1915, the fragrance was reinterpreted by renowned perfumer Olivia Giacobetti in 1995. Presented as an Eau de Toilette, it reflects the house's historical approach to elegant, gender-inclusive perfumery while preserving the identity that made the original creation a classic.

The fragrance wears with a light, graceful presence, emphasizing softness rather than intensity. Floral freshness and subtle woody warmth remain balanced throughout its development, giving the scent a calm and comforting aura.

Recognized as one of the Maison's best-selling creations, Vouloir être ailleurs. C.G. is appreciated for its refined simplicity and its natural interpretation of linden blossom, enhanced by beeswax and hay accords that add depth without overwhelming the composition.

In 1830, Alfred d'Orsay, a talented and rebellious aesthete, created the first non-gender-oriented perfume to conceal his forbidden love affair with Marguerite Blessington.

190 years later, the House of d'Orsay, driven by the vision of Amélie Huynh, continues the olfactory and aesthetic story begun by Alfred d'Orsay. Love and sensuality permeate its creations for both body and home. Paying homage to the history of its founder, d'Orsay embodies different states of love and sentimental encounters, referring to the lost correspondence and secret meetings of Alfred and Marguerite. As a true heritage of the brand, the House continues to demonstrate its exceptional identity by producing each of its creations in France.
