French Cancan(1936)
Caron · Ernest Daltroff · Floral
At a glance
Created by Ernest Daltroff for Caron, French Cancan opens on jasmine, lilac, and violet, moves through a heart of rose, African orange flower, iris, lily of the valley, and patchouli, and closes on oakmoss, sandalwood, amber, and orris root. Its lively, can-can-referencing title and dense multi-floral structure situate it among the house's rich 1930s florals, built by the same perfumer responsible for Caron's Tabac Blond and Nuit de Noel.
Did you know?
This scent's violet note exists because of ionone, synthesized in 1893 to replace violet-flower oil — once one of the most expensive materials in perfumery.
