Cyrano de Bergerac, a masterpiece by Edmond Rostand, is inspired by a real historical figure who lived in the 17th century. This individual was a brave soldier, a well-known musketeer, a poet of notable talent, and a philosopher with a passionate personality. However, what caught your attention the most was his characteristic prominent nose, which became a symbol of his identity. In tribute to this emblematic character, Daniel Josier has created a fragrance that encapsulates the essence of Cyrano.

The fragrance begins with animalic notes, evocative of the strength and bravery of the character. These opening notes also transport the user to the atmosphere of Cyrano's time, a time filled with horses, carriages, and bustling theaters. These scenarios witnessed not only duels and confrontations, but also the personal dramas and intense passions of the characters. Cyrano's bravery and courage never wavered, and this is reflected in the intensity of the perfume's opening notes.

Cyrano was not only a fearless warrior, but also a sensitive poet who harbored a deep and secret love for Roxanne. This unrequited love, kept hidden by his insecurity about her appearance, manifests in the heart of the fragrance with an exquisite floral bouquet. The flowers represent the delicacy and romanticism that Cyrano hid behind his hard and combative facade.

Daniel Josier's perfume not only captures Cyrano's strength and passion, but also his vulnerability. The floral notes at the heart of the perfume speak of the tender love and poetry that Cyrano secretly dedicated to Roxanne. This contrast between external toughness and internal sensitivity makes the character and fragrance deeply complex and moving.

In the final moments of the play, Roxanne discovers that Cyrano has always been her true love. This revelation, full of emotion and tragedy, comes just before Cyrano's death in his arms, mortally wounded by an attack. This dark and emotional ending is reflected in the fragrance's base notes, which include oud and patchouli, lending a mysterious and melancholic depth to the perfume.

The notes of oud and patchouli not only represent the tragic outcome, but also the durability of Cyrano's legacy. These base notes add a dimension of sophistication and duration, symbolizing how Cyrano's spirit endures beyond his lifetime. The perfume, thus, becomes an olfactory tribute to his memory and his eternal love for Roxanne.

Daniel Josier's perfume also pays tribute to the duality of Cyrano's character: his bravery on the battlefield and his vulnerability in matters of the heart. This duality is what makes Cyrano such a fascinating and multifaceted character. Josier manages to capture this essence in every chord of his creation, offering a rich and evocative sensory experience.

Throughout Rostand's work, Cyrano demonstrates that true beauty lies in the soul and in acts of courage and love. His nose, although a source of insecurity and ridicule, becomes a symbol
