Staccato is a fragrance inspired by a text fragment from the novel 'The Age of Innocence' by Edith Wharton. Perfumer Karine Vichon Spehner was given just one page from the book as a guide to create a fragrance based on it.

The fragment describes a meeting of the two main characters in her apartment. Even though he is engaged to another woman, there is a strong force between them that draws them together. The scent is therefore about forbidden love, and Karine was looking for something that would combine politeness with desire. Honey symbolizes the sweetness of this feeling, but there are also many spices used to symbolize desire and to evoke a distant bazaar. Chinese cedar was used for its smoky qualities, and tobacco reminds us of coffee and a fireplace. Amber is mentioned in the book, so we used a subtle representation of it in the scent, which gives a delicate, classic modernity that refers to the era.

The forbidden love of two characters who meet in a New York apartment. A fragrance that ignites the senses with an intoxicating blend of ginger, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and saffron. A cocktail of spices combines with a floral rose heart, emphasized by the subtle sweetness of honey, which introduces delicacy. A deeply smoky composition of Chinese cedarwood, tobacco and benzoin completes this seductive scent.
