Dzongkha

by Bertrand Duchaufour

L'Artisan Parfumeur Dzongkha is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. The fragrance opens with Peony, Litchi, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Tea, Vetiver, Spicy, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Iris, Leather, and Papyrus.

Our verdict on Dzongkha: Acquired

This one's a divisive marvel. While some find its spicy-woody blend an exercise in tranquil sophistication, others are hit with an unapologetic blast of celery and hospital antiseptic. Definitely not a crowd-pleaser you can blind-buy.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and persistent longevity make it suitable for casual wear or even a slightly formal setting. However, the bold and sometimes polarising woody-spicy-leather accords might be too much for close-quarters office environments, while its meditative character doesn't suit sport.

About

Dzongkha kicks off with a potent blast of cardamom and a subtle whisper of peony, leading into a heart of dry, smoky incense and aromatic vetiver. Cedar provides a woody backbone while undertones of black tea add an unusual depth. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of earthy papyrus, powdery iris, and soft, worn leather, creating a complex and somewhat austere aroma that transports you to distant, serene landscapes.
