L’Accord # 119 is Caron’s newest fragrance, previewed at the Elements Showcase and launching in January 2011. The fragrance is named for the street address of Caron’s main factory, where the president of the company and the house’s perfumer Richard Fraysse finally reached an agreement regarding the direction of the new fragrance they wanted to develop.
L’Accord # 119 is a sensual fruity-floral fragrance, but it’s a fruity-floral as only Caron could give us. The perfume is based around fresh mouthwatering blackberry and spicy earthy notes of patchouli. A delicate and fresh floral beginning is soon overpowered by the dark character of patchouli, paired with a modern aromatic blackberry.
