HOW IT WEARS
Beginning with syrupy-sweet, juicy yet tart passionfruit, as Coquette wears for just a little you begin to detect the marshmallow. Then the fragrance begins to turn more creamy and lactonic, the Chantilly cream adding a fluffy lightness to the composition. The magnolia peeks her head out after the fragrance has worn on the skin for a little while – warm, her fruitier facets perfectly complimenting the passionfruit (which stays prominent throughout the wear of Coquette), but also just the slightest bit indolic. Coquette will last on the skin for hours, sticking to it like a smile after eating one of your favourite summery sweet treats.

LORE LOVES
While Coquette means a “flirt” in French, more recently it’s become associated with an aesthetic that centres around embracing femininity in a youthful, playful, self-aware way. This fragrance perfectly exemplifies that! It’s sweet, fruity, and reminds you of childhood in the best way. In fact, we associate it with the scent of a pavlova at the height of summer, passionfruit coulis drizzled over meringue that’s crisp on the outside and marshmallow-y on the inside, while sitting under the shade of a massive magnolia tree.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Perdrisât is the brainchild of Callum Mitchell; designed, hand-made and bottled in Melbourne, Australia. Born in 2019 and then released to the public in 2022, the brand name comes from Callum’s maternal grandmother, a woman who to him was the epitome of elegance but at the same time had a wicked sense of humour.
Callum comes from a filmmaking background, which is apparent in every Perdrisât fragrance – each one is a character or a vignette, a closeup scene with vivid imagery. While Callum has his own stories and associations attached to each scent, he invites the wearer to bring their own interpretation to the table, as you would when you watch a film.
With a conceptual, fun and tongue-in-cheek approach to perfumery, Perdrisât doesn’t follow trends or seasons. You never know when a muse might appear, so like writing a poem or taking a portrait, Callum aims to respect the unpredictability of inspiration. There is no telling how many stories there are to share, scenes to capture, or memories to be bottled.
With a slow approach to perfumery, Perdrisât aims to avoid overproduction, manufactured in small batches by Callum. Vegan and cruelty-free, each fragrance in the line is formulated with a combination of naturals and safe synthetics (no parabens, sulfates, or endocrine disrupting ingredients). Perdrisât fragrances have a parfum concentration of 22-30% – so on the stronger and longer-lasting side!
