A return to instincts: Five fragrances designed for intimate moments

A perfume as an embrace. Even closer, more intimate. Like a seductive touch, it envelops the body with gentle droplets and invites moments of romantic closeness. This was the guiding thread behind the most sensual collection to date by the now cult Korean fragrance brand BORNTOSTANDOUT, titled Eau Intimité.

Skin scent fragrances that create the impression of a second skin have been a growing perfume trend for some time now. In addition to blending easily, through their soft and comforting compositions, with the scented trail left on the skin by your shower and body care ritual, skin scent perfumes also respond perfectly to another rising need, that of personalization.

BTSO Eau Intimité is an excellent example that answers both trends. Now, during the colder winter months, fragrances that smell like warm skin and closeness are experiencing a surge in popularity.

At once opulent and soft, the fragrances from the Eau Intimité collection are not meant to fill a room with their aura. Just as they evoke the sensation of breath on the skin and the warmth that comes from an intense pulse, these skin scents are designed to be worn close to the body and revealed only to those who come close enough to sense them. As if they invite intimacy and a return to instinct.

You will also be delighted by their charming invitation to play. It is possible to apply several fragrances from the collection, layering them one over the other to create a fully personal, customized sillage. Certain intimate fragrance notes are responsible for such an exciting effect.

Fragrance notes that define this intimate perfume trend

Certain fragrance notes perfectly convey tenderness and evoke an aura of intimacy. Musk certainly holds an advantage as the base of a good skin scent, but when combined with playful raspberry, rich amber, or tonka bean, musk gains dimensions of passion, desire, and softness.

Creamy, balsamic accords then acquire a fruity spark, creating an almost physical moment of closeness captured in a bottle of perfume or eau de toilette. The BTSO Eau Intimité collection perfectly conveys that moment through five interpretations of intimacy. Each of the five fragrances triggers a different degree of pulsation, playing with your imagination.

The collection is conceived as a second skin: light, yet with an unexpected intensity that develops only when it merges with the body. Below, we present five fragrances from this collection that redefine the concept of intimacy.

1/ Candy Dust, Eau de Toilette

A true sweet provocation in a soft, powdery cloud. The fragrance recalls the playfulness of cotton candy, but this time in a far more mature interpretation. A diffused cloud of raspberry, pear, and bergamot opens the scent like a seductive sigh, and after this luscious explosion, Candy Dust settles into intimate, warm notes of tonka. This fragrance is ideal for those who seek playful tenderness. Still, proceed with caution, as it is addictive and awakens passion.

• Perfumer: Julie Massé
• Key notes: raspberry, powdered sugar, milk, pear
• Size: 100 ml

2/ Musc X, Eau de Toilette

If there is a fragrance that embodies the closeness of two people in the dark, it is certainly Musc X. Exceptionally warm and even more sensual, it creates the effect of heated skin with a passionate eruption that triggers an almost instinctive response. Inspired by the moment when, after a passionate night, the lover’s scent lingers on the pillow long after, this fragrance was created to make you unforgettable.

• Perfumer: Alex Lee
• Key notes: Ambroxan, musk, cotton candy

3/ Cuvée Skin, Eau de Toilette

What would champagne foam smell like on bare skin? The perfumer behind Cuvée Skin offers her answer. Seductive, playful, and luminous. Cuvée Skin is perhaps the purest expression of the skin scent philosophy, with tonka bean in several variations forming the heart of the fragrance. It opens with radiance that then melts upon contact with the skin, becoming warmer the longer you wear it. It lingers long on pillows and in thoughts.

• Perfumer: Margaux Le Paih-Guérin
• Key notes: ambrette absolute, vanilla orchid, tonka balm and tonka bean infusion, woody accords
• Size: 100 ml

4/ Gold Juice, Eau de Toilette

This fragrance could best be described as fruity danger. Durian and mango open the scent in a wild explosion, quickly calming with notes of white florals and solar radiance. What embraces the skin is caramelized almond combined with woody accords. This magnetic fragrance is inexplicably alluring and clings to the skin like a lover’s close breath.

• Perfumer: Margaux Le Paih-Guérin
• Key notes: durian, mango, white florals, caramelized almond
• Size: 100 ml

5/ Warm Air, Eau de Toilette

Probably the most passionate fragrance in the entire collection, inspired by the warmth of touch and animalistic impulses. Just as the bodies of lovers breathe and warm in the same rhythm, musk and tonka merge with the skin, enveloping it in a soft, sensual warmth of closeness. Gourmand woody notes create a dense, hypnotic texture. The fragrance is exceptionally sensual, yet balanced with the right measure of softness.

• Perfumer: Véronique Nyberg
• Key notes: geranium, musk, tonka, roasted caramel, davana, rum
