HistoryCologne 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.
