Story
When night falls, the stars come out. Bright, shining by the thousands in an inky sky, they sparkle down onto the undulating waves. In the quiet of a deserted beach, feet tread the cool sand. Shadows melt away. A moment out of time; a walk along the water’s edge that lasts forever. Drawing in the sweet scent of summer. Looking back over the last few hours. L’Heure Vagabonde is an invitation to stroll once the sun is down. The fifth act in the wonderful world of Les Colognes Sublimes.
Fragrance
L’Heure Vagabonde is an addictive balance of power and refinement, combining the vivacity of lime with the leathery richness of Balkan tobacco absolute. The scent begins with flamboyant lime, bergamot and CO2-extracted ginger. To this freshness, the house perfumer adds a gentle warmth textured with tobacco absolute. This noble, multi-faceted ingredient, emblematic of CARON fragrances, is enhanced by the powerful essence of guaiac wood. Captivating patchouli from Indonesia, dazzling vetiver from Haiti and comforting notes of honey and leather follow, for a scent that reflects the mysterious moment when anything becomes possible. An elegant amber fragrance with a unique olfactory sophistication.
Olfactory memory
A lime may look like a lemon that has been picked before it’s ripe, but it’s actually a different variety of citrus fruit altogether. Limes arrived in France in the 20th century and are characterised by their seedless pulp and distinctive acidity.
The Collection
Exuberant sillages, rich compositions, daring statements...
When CARON attaches its name to the world of Colognes, it shakes up the codes ! Who said fresh scents had to be fleeting? The refreshing boost of a Cologne, the intensity of a perfume.
A true creative challenge, the CARON Colognes collection is an haute couture project. These five outstanding fragrances borrow their names from the most beautiful pages of French poetry. Ten big bottles made-to-measure signed and numbered by artist Gilles CHABRIER, inspired by the House’s Art Déco style. Ten creations produced in a very limited series: just 25 units of each design...
The embodiment of exception as seen by CARON.
Les Colognes Sublimes
"In the wonderful world of Colognes Sublimes, time flies. And it can stop, in a moment, plunging you into a new reality. A marvellous beach is transformed into a playground, becoming a space for explorations, dreams, and possibilities of all kinds. A magnificent sandcastle rises against the blue of the sea. A summer escape tinged with fantasy and exuberance, where colours echo a poetic escapade.
A dreamlike exploration set to a background of fragrance, from the early hours of the morning until the stroke of midnight. Waking up on the beach at sunrise with L'invisible qui Luit. Late morning, a feeling of plenitude with Champ Bleu du Ciel. Reawakening the child in you as the sun hits its zenith, with Ivre de Liberté. As the day draws to a close, exploring new horizons with L'Invitation au Voyage. And finally, when the sun has given way to the moon, taking an evening stroll with L'Heure Vagabonde. A collection of five bold scents that resonates in a wonderfully utopian setting.”
