“Dream: American Sailors meeting Russian Sailors.

Description: Originally created upon a friend’s request in 2002, Sailors intends to represent both sensuality and friendship around the globe. A friendship that shall go beyond the political confrontations of the flags on their ships… Not to mention most find these friendly sea voyagers quite sexy.

Twist: This is a perfumer’s remix of Déclaration for Men (Jean Claude Elena/Cartier Parfums 1998). Just as a DJ creates a remix from an existing song, making it more dramatic and dancey.

In Sailors, bass (base) notes were added with deeper sexier tones: Cashmeran®, a touch of Seaweed, Cinnamon Leaves and Clove…, along with resounding notes: Javanol® and Ambrox® Super big time, natural Indian Sandalwood big time, Wolfwood®, Helvetolide®…

Some further dancing freshness was also mixed in: five Grapefruit notes, Mandarin, Lemon, molecular Violet Leaves, iso-Cyclocitral…

As per THE ZOO® Code of Ethics, if Cartier Parfums, Symrise or Jean-Claude Ellena would like to be compensated with a royalty agreement, we will gladly abide, counting on everyone to act fairly. We intend to show a new way of respecting creators as well as fighting blunt plagiarism which is entrenched and rewarded in perfumery. For instance, as a starting point, we could learn from the music arena, and go beyond to avoid its issues. Let’s be clever and legally creative.” – a note from the brand.

Sailors was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Christophe Laudamiel.
