Joseph Duclos

Joseph Duclos is a leather House that dates back to the 1700s, appointed the first Royal Leather Manufacture by King Louis XIV in 1754. At the end of the 15th century, almond fragrances were developed to perfume the inside of leather goods to mask their sharp aromas. Inspired by this rich history, creative director Ramesh Nair worked with perfumer Nathalie Feisthauer to create four fragrances, each corresponding to a collection of leather goods – Diane, Saint-Clair, Lectoure, and Fontelie. The Lectoure is a beautiful and refreshing scent with the clarity of Mandora, a new citrus, bergamot, and petitgrain combined with the vivacity of mint and lavender. In a vibrant blue, everything from the smell to the color makes the Lectoure the perfect pairing for a crisp winter day. $200
