House · A new writing of Cologne: light, freshness and character
C Ray
The Haute Parfumerie of Cologne. Cologne par Essence: a new expression of light, freshness and character, composed with the depth and persistence of Eau de Parfum.
“Cologne par Essence. Essence by nature, by material and by concentration.”
History
Cologne is the origin of olfactory writing—a perfumery of light, freshness and character. C.RAY returns to this founding gesture and rewrites it through seven contemporary creations by Jean-Michel Duriez. Each begins with exceptional raw materials, selected for their origin, singularity and radiance; the finest natural qualities, often from the Orpur® collection, form the starting point.
Core DNA
A new writing of Cologne: exceptional natural materials, luminous freshness and Eau de Parfum concentration. The result is freshness with depth, remarkable lasting power and a presence that endures.
