Uncut Gem Editions De Parfums
Ginger, Bergamot, Vetiver, Amber, Musk Unyielding, daring, exuding an elusive allure.
Crafted from the personal cologne of master perfumer Maurice Roucel, Uncut Gem is an unabashedly masculine fragrance—sharp as a diamond and exceptionally fresh. The journey begins with crisp, spicy top notes of ginger, bergamot, mandarin, angelica root, and nutmeg, leading to the smoldering heart: a leathery accord, vetiver, frankincense, abundant amber, and a musk that resonates with the skin. This scent challenges conventional masculine norms, extracting their primal strength to fashion something exquisite and irresistible.
Maurice Roucel initiated his career as a chemist at Chanel's Fragrance Laboratory in 1973. A self-taught perfumer who identifies as an "explorer wandering amidst formulas," his style embodies a sensuous aesthete, and his signature lies in lavish compositions, retaining only the essential elements.
