Spoturno 1921 - Extrait

Spoturno 1921 Extrait is a jewel of perfumery—both a tribute and a transformation. Inspired by the formula books and original creations of François Spoturno (known as Coty), this Extrait reinterprets a legendary composition with modern artistry and reverence.

For Christophe Sheldrake, it was a journey through time—an opportunity to step into the mind of a perfume genius. Though the raw materials of the past endure, new extraction techniques and refined molecules breathe contemporary life into this classic floral-oriental architecture. The result is an Extrait that feels timeless yet newly awakened.

The fragrance opens with a luminous cascade of rose blossoms, lemon zest, bergamot, orange blossom, and mandarin, leading into a sensual heart of lavender, ambergris, ylang-ylang, and jasmine grandiflorum. A base of sandalwood, vetiver, and tonka bean unfolds slowly, enriched by myrrh, vanilla, and a soft civet accord, creating a lingering, velvety depth.

A masterpiece revisited—Spoturno 1921 Extrait unites history and innovation in perfect harmony, capturing the immortal spirit of haute parfumerie française.
