222

Inspiration
The formula of 222 lay in a drawer for years, created by an unknown inventor. Paul Vacher found it when he took over Le Galion. It was probably too daring for its time: it speaks of hot, mystical lands, a nod to the house's love of exoticism.

The Signature of 222
The softness of violet opens the way to a generous sandalwood, wrapped in a cloud of leather and musk. Myrrh and lavender give the heart a solemn air. Styrax, with its leathery tone, joins vanilla and oakmoss in an unconventional, mysterious base.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
222 is for us the quiet strength of the house. The violet is surprisingly tender on the first spray, but within a quarter of an hour the creamy sandalwood takes over. What we love is the edge of leather and styrax that makes the scent slightly dusty and antique, like an old library. It stays close to the skin and lasts long. We pair it with a wool coat, on cold days in town.
