D'Orsay A coeur perdu LB EDP

Description

A cœur perdu. L.B. is D’Orsay’s modern retelling of the very first perfume the house ever made, the 1830 fragrance Alfred d’Orsay created in secret for Lady Marguerite Blessington, the married countess he loved for over twenty years. “L.B.” openly honors her initials, one of the few names in this collection the house has confirmed rather than left as a mystery. Composed by perfumer Fanny Bal, it opens on iris-tinted aldehydes and citrus and settles into a soft, mossy embrace, fans of aldehydic florals like Chanel No. 22 will find the same luminous, powdery lift here.

Scent Character

• Woody: 34%
• Floral: 34%
• Fresh: 32%

Translation: an even three-way balance of citrus-aldehyde brightness, iris-orange blossom florals, and a mossy-woody drydown, airy rather than heavy.

FAQ

Is A cœur perdu L.B. for men or women?
It’s unisex by design: D’Orsay built the whole “Initials” collection around couples’ fragrances meant to be shared.

What does “L.B.” stand for?
Lady Blessington: Marguerite, Countess of Blessington, the muse of Alfred d’Orsay’s original 1830 creation.

How long does it last and how far does it project?
Expect a moderate 4–6 hours, worn close to the skin rather than loud, true to the aldehydic-iris genre.

What does it smell like if I like Chanel No. 22 or other aldehydic florals?
Similar luminous, powdery iris-aldehyde territory, but softened with orange blossom and a mossy-cashmeran base instead of a heavier floral bouquet.
