About

Imagine freshly laundered whites, still damp, pulled straight from the machine-that's Couleur Primaire. It opens with a sharp burst of ozonic cleanliness, almost icy, quickly settling into a prominent musky, powdery heart. The clean, aldehydic scent evokes fabric softener or washing powder, with a hint of animalic depth that keeps it from being completely sterile.
