The fragrance's background 

"Timut pepper was chosen for its clean, fresh attack, the perfect embodiment of the bright, sparkling element I wanted to create. I also sought to break with the conventions of incense by moving away from the traditionally sacred facet attributed to it." A word from the Perfumer. 

Here is the olfactory description of Feu Primitif by Jardin de France  

Top notes:

The opening of Feu Primitif is captivating and spicy thanks to Timut Pepper, which brings a unique spicy aspect. Orange brings a bright citrus note and Elemi, with its resinous facets, adds depth to this introduction. 

Heart notes :

At the heart of the composition, Black Tea offers a warm, rich sensation, while Rose adds a delicate floral dimension. These middle notes balance the initial spiciness with a subtle elegance. 

Base notes:

The base notes of Primitive Fire reveal a heightened intensity and sophistication. Frankincense, with its resinous and mystical character, creates an enchanting atmosphere. Cypress can provide a green, woody nuance, while Virginia Cedar offers a stable woody base. 

Overall sensation 

Frankincense adds a mysterious, spiritual dimension, while cypress and Virginia cedar offer warm, enveloping woody notes. Together, these notes create a blended fragrance that skilfully balances freshness, warmth and sophistication. It's perfect for those who appreciate a bold, versatile fragrance for any occasion.
