“Living without perfume is like living without love.” It was indeed love that gave birth to the perfume house D’ORSAY in 1830, when its eccentric and aesthetic-minded founder, Alfred d’Orsay, created a unisex elixir to share with his muse, Marguerite de Blessington. Nestled in its elegant Rue du Bac boutique, D’ORSAY continues to honor its olfactory heritage while celebrating Parisian sophistication through exceptional creations. What if you discovered this bicentennial house and its latest launches during an exclusive evening on Tuesday, April 7? Here’s everything you need to know.
When fragrance becomes identity and desire
As a historic French Maison, D’ORSAY embraces a refined heritage shaped by time and influence. Minimalist bottles inspired by archival designs, rare ingredients, and renowned perfumers have made its creations true references in the niche fragrance world—while maintaining an air of discretion. A perfect match for the most discerning aesthetes.
Designed as gender-neutral, D’ORSAY’s perfumes and eaux de toilette explore floral, woody, amber, citrus, and fruity notes. The collection is complemented by scented skincare and home fragrances—candles, room sprays, and diffusers—offering elegant gift ideas that never fail to impress.
Candy Rush: the new obsession
If boldness could be bottled, it would be Candy Rush, the brand’s latest extrait de parfum. Magnetic, sensual, and deliciously daring, this new fragrance draws inspiration from the addictive creaminess of marshmallow. Its floral and amber composition blends iris and orange blossom, while a base of sandalwood, ambroxan, and musk lingers seductively on the skin.
A truly indulgent olfactory spell created by perfumer Patrice Revillard, Candy Rush is already impossible to resist (€260 for 90ml). Available exclusively at the Rue du Bac boutique.
Your exclusive invitation
On Tuesday, April 7, from 7pm to 9pm, D’ORSAY opens the doors of its 7th arrondissement boutique for a private event reserved for just 15 guests.
The concept? Discover Candy Rush alongside perfumer Patrice Revillard, exploring its raw materials as if witnessing its creation firsthand. But that’s not all: fragrance experts will also guide you through the Maison’s signature scents, tailored to your personal preferences.
As a special treat, all participants will receive three miniature eaux de parfum (3.5ml): Sur tes lèvres. E.Q., À cœur perdu. L.B., Rose Paradis. R.B., along with a 1.5ml sample of Candy Rush. A timeless moment celebrating French craftsmanship and refinement. Will you join?
Boutique opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 11am–7pm
