Coty Emeraude is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1921, created by François Coty. Emeraude opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Coty's Emeraude carries a Statement verdict, an amber-led wear.

A legendary scent, Emeraude is a classic for a reason - often compared to Shalimar but with its own distinct charm. Sadly, modern formulations struggle to capture the magic of the originals, leading to a love-hate divide.

About

Emeraude opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and orange, quickly settling into a rich, powdery softness. The heart features a subtle floral blend of rose and ylang-ylang, underpinned by a warm, balsamic base of amber, vanilla, and patchouli. It evokes a sense of old-world glamour, with a distinct resinous, woody depth that becomes more prominent as it dries.
