With the unisex perfumes “Bitter Splash”, “Crazy Basil”, “Vanille Camouflage” and “Camomille Satin”, Dries Van Noten invites you on fragrance journeys through unconventional combinations.
Impossible combinations, olfactory duality and the art of contrasts. The four new Eaux de Parfum are an ode to eclecticism.
Dries Van Noten
Bitter Splash – Grapefruit and leather
“Bitter Splash” begins with a tangy opening of fresh grapefruit and the spicy intensity of cypress. A floral warmth unfolds in the heart, where sweet rose geranium and earthy orris root meet the delicate nutty note of carrot seed. The fragrance is rounded off with a deep, velvety base note of leather, supported by smoky vetiver and warm cedarwood.
Bitter Splash – Dries Van Noten
The creation was developed by perfumer Suzy Le Helley in collaboration with Symrise to celebrate the bold aesthetics of the fashion house Dries Van Noten.
I decided to explore a paradoxical but balanced play of light and texture – the sparkling radiance of the grapefruit masked by the matte softness of the leather.

Crazy Basil – Basil and cedar wood
A natural aromatic note of basil that blends with the vibrations of cedarwood and amber.
Jean-Christophe Hérault
The creation “Crazy Basil” is a tribute to the aromatic power of basil. The fragrance opens with an intense green freshness, underlined by bergamot and mandarin. The heart note is dominated by the herbaceous facets of Provençal lavender, surrounded by the floral lightness of rose geranium and the spicy nuance of rosemary. A warm base of amber, hinoki wood, musk and cedar wood rounds off the composition in a sensual and earthy way.

Vanilla Camouflage – Vanilla and Galbanum
“Vanilla Camouflage” captures the green, herbal facet of vanilla. The fragrance journey begins with a fresh opening in which resinous green tones of galbanum and spicy cypress merge with a sweet fig note. The heart reveals a sensual blend of mastic resin absolute and creamy sandalwood, enveloped by the exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang. The composition is rounded off with warm notes of bourbon and Tahitian vanilla, enhanced by the resinous warmth of benzoin and amberwood.

It is so unusual to see a vanilla in its original form, and so green! That’s exactly what the fragrance expresses.

Camomille Satin – Chamomile and Vanilla
The extreme addiction of the vanilla bean, colored by the bucolic charm of chamomile.
Julien Rasquinet and Paul Guerlain
In the composition of “Camomille Satin” the warm sweetness of vanilla pod is combined with the delicate aroma of camomile. The fragrance opens with an aromatic blend of camomile and the citrusy freshness of petitgrain, followed by a floral-sweet heart of lavender absolute, orange blossom absolute and Turkish rose absolute. In the base, notes of vanilla, galbanum and musk provide a warm, creamy finish.
