Hez Parfums Blue Dog

Inspired by Cajun folklore and the iconic Blue Dog paintings of George Rodrigue, Blue Dog eau de parfum encapsulates the mystical bayou lands of Louisiana. Legend tells of shape-shifting loup-garous, men who become wolves beneath the light of the full moon. Just as the loup-garou transforms, so too does Blue Dog.

Opening with a burst of zesty grapefruit, pink peppercorns, and aromatic rosemary, the vibrant citrus notes give way to spicy ginger and bergamot, evoking images of steaming Louisiana gumbos. The scent journeys into the shadowy swamps, picking up traces of ozone, cool marine notes, and earthy patchouli along the way.

At the heart lie contrasts and transitionsÐthe civilized yet multi-faceted culture of New Orleans. Lavender fields and floral lilies soften the edges, while cardamom and tonka bean add warmth. Like the subject of RodrigueÕs paintings, Blue Dog contains multidimensional layers.

As the fragrance dries down, youÕll find yourself deep in the southern swamplands. Smoky vetiver root, exotic incense, and sensuous sandalwood form the basenotes, calling to mind campfire tales of supernatural transformations beneath moss-draped cypress trees. The smooth ambroxan lends a skin-like creaminess, while traces of musk add animalic mystery.

Like each unique Rodrigue painting, every wearerÕs experience with Blue Dog will be different. But its bold, constantly changing nature encapsulates the rich heritage of Cajun country. All thatÕs missing is the sound of zydeco accordions drifting through the bayou fog.
