Bertrand Duchaufour

Bertrand Duchaufour's Renegades fragrance presents a clean, green, and aromatic profile with notable freshness and soft spiciness. It opens with a crisp blend of bergamot, cardamom, galbanum, and pink pepper, creating a light yet expressive character that evokes a damp forest shower—slightly soapy, herbal, and green. The midnotes of hinoki wood, olibanum, and red berries add a subtle smoky incense nuance and gentle sweetness, while the base of balsam fir, driftwood, and amber gives the fragrance a soft, woody warmth that lingers subtly. The scent is unobtrusive and intimate, with moderate sillage and moderate longevity, making it most suitable for daytime wear during spring and summer. It balances natural and aromatic elements without dramatic contrasts, resulting in a quiet but well-composed presence.
