History
With Hauto, the skin in Esperanto, Jeroboam steps away from pure musk toward a carnal floral. The perfume calls up a precise image: the french cancan dancers of the emblematic cabarets of 1920s Paris who, it is said, scented their peaks and hollows, the places where they wished to be explored.
Vanina Muracciole translates that sensuality into a tuberose and a rose set on the enigmatic musks base. Up top, bergamot, pineapple and a spice accord bring a fruity light that keeps the white flowers from turning heavy. The result is a warm-skin scent, more suggested than demonstrative.
Hauto belongs to the first 2015 wave, the one that laid down the house grammar: a concentrated extrait, an Esperanto name, and musk as the through-line. Here musk serves as a setting for a solar floral whose whole purpose is to evoke skin itself, that invitation to be explored the house fully embraces.
Fragrance notes
Hauto frames its fleshy flowers with a fruity top and a musky base.
From top to base, Hauto unfolds its writing.
Scent profile
Hauto opens on a fruity light: bergamot and pineapple throw a juicy sparkle, lifted by a spiced streak. Without that entrance the floral might turn heavy; here it stays solar.
The heart reveals tuberose and rose, two fleshy flowers Vanina Muracciole keeps clear of any makeup effect: they read less as a bouquet than as scented skin. This is the layer that gives the perfume its idea of dressed nakedness.
The base is the house one, the enigmatic musks over a touch of ambery woods, wrapping the flowers in an intimate warmth. Wear is long, the trail sensual but restrained. A solar skin floral, worn up close, when you want to scent yourself for one person.
