“I wanted a big contrast between two strong sensations: bursting freshness versus pure, sensual addiction. In Sur Ma Peau, the fresh facet of vanilla meets the sensual texture of tonka under a burst of citrus. Bergamot, full of zest, with a tear of benzoin, a precious resin sourced responsibly in the mountains of Laos, play against one another: as benzoin melts on the skin, it’s illuminated by the extreme backlight of citrus.” Quentin Bisch, Perfumer
