DRIES VAN NOTEN
BITTER SPLASH
Eau de parfum
Bitter grapefruit, iris and softened leather.
BITTER SPLASH by Dries Van Noten from the Patterns collection sets the brightness of grapefruit against the softness of leather. Cypress adds an aromatic line to the opening, followed by iris and geranium; cedarwood and vetiver give the leather base a composed woody structure. This citrus eau de parfum explores freshness through an unusually tactile contrast.
Discover Bitter Splash at RichandLuxe through meticulously prepared fragrance decants—an invitation to explore its character at your own pace. Full bottles are also offered, presented in the manufacturer’s original packaging. Enjoy complimentary U.S. shipping.

Our Impressions
Our Impressions of Bitter Splash
Bitter Splash places grapefruit at the centre of an elegant material pairing. Cypress sharpens the fresh opening, while iris and geranium soften the transition toward leather. The woods give the composition definition, allowing its bright and matte textures to coexist.
We imagine it with spring tailoring, a summer evening terrace or a crisp daytime wardrobe. It offers a thoughtful direction for clients who enjoy citrus but want more texture, particularly those curious about leather as a soft supporting element.
