On first meeting with Trelise, the new Eau de Toilette from Trelise Cooper, we are immediately in the fragrant world of vanilla pods, and the glossy caramel developing under the heat of a brûlée torch. These are big fragrances: welcome home fragrances suggesting relaxation after a long walk through brown, fallen leaves.
And, spend some time in the perfume’s company and quietly revealed are other scents: the invitation of sandalwood, the enveloping, heirloom-quilt of lily of the valley, a sinuous thread of Janis Joplin patchouli. There are many components in this work.
Structurally, the component juices are sourced from the world’s spiritual
home of perfume: Grasse in Southern France. Here is the cultivation of
thousands of plants yielding their petals, leaves, seeds and barks to a
centuries-old alchemy of extraction and distillation. Here, also, are
stringent testing and verification certificates issued by the industry to
assure a global market of quality. For Trelise, upwards of 18 separate
juices were used to develop this perfume—one of the industry’s most
complex orchestrations.
