Le Tour de France ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 25 June 2015 10 Comments

Le Tour de France

French cycling event Le Tour de France has launched an eponymous fragrance for the 2015 Tour de France, which starts on July 4. Le Tour de France was created under licensing arrangements with Cofinluxe.

Le Tour de France was developed by perfumer Henri Bergia. The notes include lavender, star anise, basil, fennel, cardamom, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, amber, oakmoss, leather and musk.

Le Tour de France is available in 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

    In keeping with Tour de France tradition, this should contain banned perfume-enhancing substances such as real oakmoss, sandalwood and musk. ;-)

    In reality, it probably smells like the industrial-strength detergent used to launder sweaty cycling costumes.

      My thought was that it should have synthetic musk, in honor of the performance I of enhancing synthetic male hormones used by so many contestants

        Hah, perhaps there is an aroma chemical that stimulates testosterone production. ;-)

    It should smell like lycra, sweat, energy gel, and bicycle tubing.

      That would be worth trying, at least :-)
