🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Flying Eagle is an eau de parfum, 50 ml, with around 20% fragrance oil. The price is €25, the same across our whole range whatever the original. Free shipping applies from €55 and delivery takes 2 to 5 working days.

Althair is sold as an eau de parfum, so ours matches that concentration rather than a lighter eau de toilette or an eau de cologne.

Longevity is 5 to 10 hours. French fragrance oils, handmade in small batches, vegan and cruelty free. If Flying Eagle is not what you expected, you have 15 days to exchange it.

NOTES

Top notes

Cinnamon, orange blossom, cardamom, bergamot

Bourbon vanilla, elemi

Base notes

Guaiac wood, ambroxan, praline, musk, tonka bean, candied almond

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Flying Eagle is our perfume dupe of Althair by Parfums de Marly, a warm gourmand that leans comfortable rather than flashy. Cinnamon, orange blossom, cardamom and bergamot open it, bourbon vanilla and elemi form the heart, and guaiac wood, ambroxan, praline, musk, tonka bean and candied almond make up the base.

It reads as vanilla and almond over dry wood. The spice at the start keeps it from turning into dessert, and after an hour it settles close to the skin. Projection is moderate, longevity is where it earns its reputation.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Flying Eagle

Inspired by: Althair, Parfums de Marly

Cold weather scent, and one of the few gourmands that works in the office as well as at dinner. The spice keeps it from being cloying in a closed room.

Men wear it most often, but nothing about it is strictly masculine, and it gets picked up as a shared bottle in a lot of households.

Choose our Inspiration

Parfums de Marly is a French house that built its name on modern gourmands and woods, and Althair belongs to that line. It is niche rather than designer, which is why fewer people know it by name than the scent deserves.

Searches usually go for Althair on its own, sometimes together with the house name.

Why choose us?

Flying Eagle is our alternative to Althair. Our own blend, French fragrance oils, filled by hand, built to carry the same vanilla and almond warmth over wood.

Made only as an eau de parfum, because a base like this loses its point in a lighter concentration. Fifteen days to send it back if it does not sit right.
