"IVOIRE is the name I gave to a dream. The name of a woman of sovereign beauty, draped in ultra-pale silk. We crossed paths for a moment on the staircase at the Opéra, before she disappeared into the night.
Ivoire is the trailing shadow of that ephemeral vision. It struck me with all the power of a revelation. There will always be a mystery around Ivoire. The stuff of legend, the aura of an otherwhere, of unknown sentiments and emotions beyond our culture. Thus it was that Ivoire was born. Inspired by that same woman. Ivoire pays homage to beauty and womankind. A fragrance that is solemn and indomitable, like the purest ivory. I dedicate this fragrance to all the women of the world who love Ivoire as I do. "
