Strawberry milk, a touch of cardamom, mysterious iris and the depth of white oud: with HOLY BERRY<\/strong><\/a>, Tanguy Guesnet brings the comforting memory of childhood into dialogue with something more ambiguous and carnal. For D\u2019ORSAY, the perfumer has created a 32% unisex extrait in which indulgence is never merely sweet: it becomes a form of attraction, almost a ritual. We meet the creator behind a fragrance built on contrasts, between incandescent fruit, milky texture and sensual woods.<\/p>\n

Holy Berry: Innocence And Desire According To Tanguy Guesnet<\/h2>\n
\"Portrait<\/figure>\n

What is the very first image that comes to mind when you think of HOLY BERRY?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first image is that of a childhood treat: a spoonful of strawberry milk that is both comforting and irresistible, yet gradually reveals something more secretive, more carnal. To me, Holy Berry is the meeting point between innocence and desire.<\/p>\n

Why did you choose to open the fragrance with a strawberry milk accord?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I liked the idea of starting from a universal emotion. Strawberry milk has an extraordinary regressive power: it evokes comfort, softness and immediate pleasure. What interested me most, however, was taking that familiar starting point into a far more unexpected territory.<\/p>\n

Strawberry immediately evokes something joyful, tender and almost childlike. How did you give it this more ambiguous and sensual dimension?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather than treating strawberry as a simple fruity note, I sought to bring it into dialogue with much nobler materials, which elevate the composition and give the note a true haute-parfumerie quality. Iris lends it a powdery elegance while bridging it with the woody accord, while the base built around sandalwood, vanilla and amber notes gives it depth and a creamy sensuality.<\/p>\n

What happens when such a luminous material encounters the depth of white oud?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is precisely where the fragrance\u2019s tension is born. The milky strawberry brings light, radiance and a certain carefree quality. Opposite it, the white oud accord, built around balsams, sandalwood and vanilla, introduces something more mysterious and enveloping. Neither ever overwhelms the other: the indulgence becomes more sophisticated, while the woody base grows brighter and creamier.<\/p>\n

The name HOLY BERRY seems to bring the sacred and pleasure together. What story did you want to tell through this title?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I liked this idea of duality. The word \u201cHoly\u201d evokes something pure, almost spiritual, while \u201cBerry\u201d suggests spontaneous and intensely sensory indulgence. The fragrance explores the space between elevation and temptation, between what attracts us instinctively and what fascinates us more deeply. It is this coexistence of opposites that gives Holy Berry its distinctive vibration.<\/p>\n

\"D\u2019ORSAY<\/figure>\n

Iris, jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood each bring another facet to the fragrance. Which material surprised you most during the creative process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would say jasmine, which paradoxically does not play a truly hedonistic role in the accord. It is actually a technical device used to reinforce the strawberry\u2019s natural quality. Yet it is indispensable, because it gives the fruity opening all of its sophistication.<\/p>\n

At what point did you feel the composition was complete and had found its balance between indulgence and mystery?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The turning point came when the strawberry was no longer immediately identifiable as a simple strawberry note. At that moment, it had become a texture, a sensation. The indulgence was still present, but it merged with the iris and white oud accord to create something more abstract and intriguing.<\/p>\n

What should remain of HOLY BERRY on the skin several hours after the first spray?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like a memory to remain rather than a precise note. A creamy, woody and sensual softness, crossed by a powdery halo of iris. Something very intimate, difficult to define, yet something you want to draw close to yourself once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
