Where Whisky Warmth Meets Timeless Elegance

Inspired by the craftsmanship of fine whisky and luxury perfumery, this captivating fragrance brings together smooth Whisky Absolute, sophisticated iris and rich amber woods to create a scent that feels warm, luxurious and deeply charismatic.
A Rich Blend of Whisky, Iris and Ambered Woods
The fragrance opens with Italian bergamot and Whisky Absolute from Scotland, creating a bright yet warm introduction with a distinctive smooth, slightly boozy character. The whisky facet gives Réserve Privée its unmistakable personality without overwhelming the composition.
At the heart, roasted chestnut introduces a warm, nutty richness while elegant orris brings a creamy and refined floral character. Benzoin adds a soft resinous sweetness that connects the heart beautifully with the deeper woody base.
The dry down reveals Virginia cedarwood, Haitian vetiver and Indonesian patchouli, creating a smooth woody foundation with an elegant ambered warmth. The result is sophisticated, sensual and exceptionally well suited to dressed-up occasions.
