Eau Papaguéna — A Symphony of Light and Freedom
Eau Papaguéna makes you feel bright, clear, and full of vitality, just like when the sun first appears in a tropical sky.

The fragrance is a symphony of sun, wind, and pure air, expertly crafted by Pierre Negrin, one of DSM-Firmenich's master perfumers.
By reimagining Eau Papaguéna as a contemporary twist on traditional citrus, Negrin intended to create an experience that was both radiant and calming: "sun on the skin." Calabrian bergamot and grapefruit, Sicilian orange, orange flower, and gentle ambrox, followed by a hint of incense, Haitian vetiver, cypress, and musk, each accord is a note of freedom. A natural brilliance from inside and the freedom of the spirit are what Eau Papaguéna is all about. The spirit is revitalized with a controlled brilliance and vibrancy that is neither as bright as the summertime sun nor as subdued as dusk. Every day can start with your own light, radiant, free, and cheerful, as Eau Papaguéna serves as a reminder.
