Eau de Vie

About

Eau de vie in perfumery evokes the distilled, vinous character of fruit brandy — a bright, boozy accord with sparkling alcoholic warmth, fermented grape or pear fruitiness, a touch of candied sweetness and a faint toasted/cask dryness. Perfumers use it to give fragrances vivacity and realism, adding effervescent top-note sparkle to fruity and gourmand blends or to deepen floral and chypre bases with warm, slightly pungent, aperitif-like nuances.
