Fragrance / 2013Potion Blue Cadet by DSQUARED² is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men. Potion Blue Cadet was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Mathilde Bijaoui. Top notes are Pink Grapefruit, Bergamot and Mandarin Orange; middle notes are Hemlock and Balsam Fir; base notes are White Cedar Extract, Tonka Bean and Musk. DSQUARED² presents a fragrance for men and adds it to the collection called Potion. The fragrance was launched in 2013 in collaboration with perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui by transforming a color (Blue Cadet) into a fragrance. The perfumer was inspired by a specific shade of blue to create a charismatic blend of fresh and aromatic accords on a woody base. Special charm is provided to the edition by the unique woody note blue hemlock absolute which provides a woody-aromatic-fruity face to the fragrance, with additions of black currant. This ingredient was created by using the technique of molecular distillation at the Mane Company. Potion Blue Cadet arrives in a transparent flacon with bluish fluid and it is shaped like 2011 edition Potion. DSQUARED2 POTION BLUE CADET is available as 100 ml EDT, in an outer carton in blue, with a fine texture.
