SELVO DO BRAZIL Eau de Cologne

The simplicity of a botanical perfume.

From the Portuguese SELVO DO BRAZIL or "forest of Brazil", it evokes the Amazonian forest that offers luxuriance, warmth and moisture.
The perfumers have reinvented the "selva" by melding a dry, inimitable green note that reveals its original, bold nature. SELVO DO BRAZIL unfurls around a unique blend of materials sourced from the purest harvests. Petitgrain from Paraguay, tonka bean from Brazil and Gaiac wood from Argentina come together to create a timbre that is both aliva and racy like the sap that flows int he heart of the "selva's" trees.
The Amazonian Indians view the tonka bean, which is the fruit of Brazilian teak tree, as a talisman. The word tonka is taken from Tupi (the language spoken by the Tupis of French Guiana and Brazil), where it is used as the tree's name. The beans are harvested as they fall to the ground from August to September. When extracted they produce an absolute with a warm, gourmet aroma reminiscent of almonds.
The "petitgrain" name was originally used to designate small green bitter orange fruits. The tree which is grown in Paraguay to produce petitgrain essential oil is a hybrid between a bitter orange and a sweet orange. Harvesting from the branches is carried out from June to January and the leaves are always directly distilled. The resulting essential oil is green and floral, with a smell reminiscent of orange blossom.
The Gaiac is a very hard greenish-brown wood from a tree that grows in abundance over a region covering part of Argentina and Paraguay. Its fragrant wood is protected by thick, smooth, grey bark; an essence with woody, smoky, slightly milky nuances is obtained by distilling the chippings.
A line of Colognes that is worthy of the Grand Cru appellation, distinguished by the exceptional seals on their bottles. The glass bottle with its sober, elegant lines is adorned with a black stopper marked with the seal of the House of BERDOUES and a label inspired by the codes of those French wines distinguished by the Grand Cru appellation.
