Bastille Parfums Hors-Piste is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Domitille Michalon Bertier. Hors-Piste opens with Orange, Juniper, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Mate, Pink Pepper, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Ambroxan, and Hedione. Bastille Parfums's Hors-Piste carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a brilliantly divisive, fresh citrus that some will adore as their signature summer scent, while others find it turns strangely sour or even 'dirty armpit'. It's a risk worth taking for its unique G&T vibe.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh and energetic citrus profile makes it ideal for casual daytime wear, especially in warmer weather. While it's not overpowering, its unique character might be a bit too bold for very formal settings, but it's great for social gatherings or outdoor activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Hors-Piste bursts open with a vibrant, juicy tangerine and orange, given a spirited, almost gin-like edge by juniper. As it settles, a zing of ginger and a hint of pink pepper add a spicy warmth, grounded by the earthy, green aroma of mate. The dry down is clean and modern, with cedar and ambroxan providing a subtle, lasting freshness that keeps the citrus alive.
