Summary
Summary
Bitter Splash contrasts sharp grapefruit with powdery iris and a darker leather-vetiver base. Grapefruit gives the opening a bitter, sparkling freshness while cypress adds a green resinous edge. Orris and carrot seed bring an earthy powderiness through the center, with geranium adding a cleaner aromatic floral note. Vetiver, cedar and leather make the drydown increasingly dry, textured and grounded.
About the Brand
About the Brand
Dries Van Noten’s fragrance collection extends the Belgian designer’s approach to color, texture, and unexpected contrast into perfumery. The house describes its genderless Eaux de Parfum as an unconventional homage to traditional perfumery, with pairings such as violet and sesame, chestnut and silk, mint and iris, and fig with sandalwood creating distinct olfactive identities.
