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 renowned musketeer, a poet of remarkable talent, and a philosopher with a passionate personality. However, what most stood out about him was his characteristic prominent nose, which became a symbol of his identity. In homage to this iconic figure, Daniel Josier has created a fragrance that encapsulates the essence of Cyrano.

The fragrance opens with animalic notes, evocative of the character's strength and courage. These initial notes also transport the wearer to the atmosphere of Cyrano's time, a time filled with horses, carriages, and bustling theaters. These settings 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, secret love for Roxanne. This unrequited love, kept hidden by his insecurity about his appearance, is manifested in the heart of the fragrance with an exquisite floral bouquet. The flowers represent the delicacy and romanticism that Cyrano concealed behind his tough, combative facade.

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

In the final moments of the play, Roxanne discovers that Cyrano has always been her true love. This revelation, charged with emotion and tragedy, comes just before Cyrano dies in her arms, mortally wounded in an assassination attempt. This dark and emotional ending is reflected in the base notes of the fragrance, 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 ending but also the enduring nature of Cyrano's legacy. These base notes add a dimension of sophistication and longevity, 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 fragrance also pays homage to the duality of Cyrano's character: his courage 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 sensorial experience.

The character of Cyrano de Bergerac, with his blend of courage, wit, and sensitivity, continues to resonate in the hearts of those touched by his story.
