Chamade c1969
Chamade was created by Jean-Paul Guerlain in 1969, and it was inspired by the Francoise Sagan's novel “La Chamade”. In the time of Napoleon, ‘chamade’ was a very fast drumbeat that called to retreat.
"Chamade—The start of a love story is something as small as a moment's heartfall. Guerlain named Chamade after that moment."
