Bitter Splash Refillable Eau de Parfum

What it is: An eau de parfum that's an impossible combination of pomelo and leather.

Fragrance story: This fragrance is formulated of 90% naturally-derived ingredients. An invitation to escape, Bitter Splash charts a journey of exotic exploration. Cool, juicy pomelo and warm vegetal leather emerge as a sophisticated duality of freshness and sensuality. A sumptuous voyage into Dries Van Noten’s love for traditional arts, where additional notes of powdery iris and vetiver enhance this chic evocation of texture and light.

'I chose to explore a paradoxical yet balanced play of light and texture – the sparkling radiance of grapefruit veiled in the matte softness of leather.' — Suzy Le Helley, Perfumer

The bottle marries the simplicity of glossy pop yellow glass with a decorative pattern inspired by the detailed art of Asian lacquer woodwork, suggesting a contrast between tradition and modernity.
