Frederic Malle Backlighting

CONTRE-JOUR is more than just a perfume – it is a presence, a wild, free soul by Annick Ménardo.

This fragrance, which turns against conventions, reveals a shimmering yet mysterious aura that invites you not to be defined. It reflects the spirit of the Mediterranean wild flower "Everlasting Flower," famous for its extraordinary longevity: a sun-yellow bloom that stands in contrast to the dark, untamed depths of its scent.

Master perfumer Annick Ménardo was guided by this inspiration and created a fragrance that challenges traditional scent structures. Notes of the Everlasting Flower unfold a spicy, almond-like nature that dances with an intense rose absolute, embracing its shadows and thorns. Sandalwood oil gives this manifesto rhythm and enhances the mystery of this creation. Fascinated by the allure of contrasts, Annick Ménardo creates fragrances of a new era – for all those who cherish their own secret.
