Not everyone agrees on what is pure , or safe , but there are regulations concerning natural and organic . Alfredo works to educate interested people about the use of chemicals on skin .
Dupetit fragrances are "natural and vegan" and most of all , smell lovely !
They are made with concern for the environment and concern for what is put on the skin . A recent member of the Natural Perfumer's Guild , Alfredo has been doing his thing for over 20 years , and I am pleased to help you get to know his work . Like alot of perfumer's I have talked with , Alfredo says he is always playing with his perfume formulas and finding better sourced oils .
Eau de Jasmine....joyous jasmine comes tumbling out with a touch of Tuberose . Already there is something to make you wonder if the moon is full tonight...the rose blossoms in the heart , but it never tames the jasmine and tuberose dancing on pillows . Just enough sandalwood in the base to 
make this a classic . Both this and the White Lily are girly surprises , I would wear alot here in Florida . Soooo rich and complex without being cloying !

bottle of Musk NR 5 , samples , color brochure, blotter strips
Vanilla made my eyes widen in total surprise !!
The juxtaposition is astounding in this one - a must sniff !!
notes:
vanilla blossoms , neroli , bergamot , coconut , wintergreen , iris , rose , benzoin absolute
Fougere is , in some ways traditional , an accord created to mimic the often used fern accord in men's fragrances . But Dupetit Fougere is a complete scent on it's own . Opening fully spicy and bracing like only lavender can be , Fougere is tamed , darkened and balanced with oakmoss .
I have come to love lavender in this context , but it wasn't always so . Lavender and vanilla ? Uh , no thanks . Doesn't move me . By Kilian won me over with Taste of Heaven , he personally sprayed it on my skin at the launch at Bergdorf's .
C'mon , with that face he could sell ice to eskimos...
anyway I digress .
Dupetit Fougere is vibrant on top , but soon dries down soft and musky , slightly woody enough , doesn't get "soapy" . This is almost my favorite , I almost like it even more than Musk NR 5 . Almost .
notes :
lavender , bergamot , oakmoss , rose , musk , ylang , vetiver , opopponax , tuberose , Peru balsam

I said that your favourite could be Vanilla and maybe I got right :)
It sounds wonderful. Thanks for all these reviews.
These sound great! I'm not sure which one would I prefer. :) Difficult to choose from your descriptions.
I've never even heard of this line before you started writing about it. I'm glad to hear Mr. Dupetit takes so much care to make his perfumes natural and vegan.
I would love to win a sample of one of these! Please enter me in the drawing. Thank you for spotlighting so many perfumers, most of whom I would not otherwise hear about. (I tried so many different ways to write that sentence without ending on a preposition....mmmph.)
First time I hear about this brand. I'm very intrigued! Glad to see they offer sample sizes.
