A floral flight of a thousand fragrances from the Pays de Grasse.

Bel Air, in a contemporary interpretation, exalts the most exquisite flowers of Grasse in a sumptuous, luminous bouquet.

A fragrance in which Centifolia rose, jasmine, tuberose, iris, violet, and mimosa bloom sensuously, eternally. A genuine jewel of light, the bottle is a faithful replica of its predecessor, now tenderly tinged with coral. Bel Air, inspired by an idyllic garden, enchants the eye and heart with its petite pastel flask that radiates intensely bucolic beauty.

Klea opens with crisp mandarin and bergamot, while olive leaf adds an aromatic quality. As it warms on the skin, light and dewy floral notes of water lily, magnolia and jasmine reveal themselves. The citrus and florals intermingle with an aquatic sea salt note, reminiscent of warm skin drying in the sun after a dip in the sea. Papyrus and cedar ground the fragrance with a gentle woodiness, while amber, Egyptian musk and tonka bean add a softly regal quality.

In the understated chic of Parisienne style, it’s details that matter: the perfect red lipstick, a delicate gold necklace, the right perfume. And this is the right perfume — a sparkling floral and patchouli confection that is lush but not overstuffed. Jasmine and rose meets raspberry and vanilla for put-together prettiness.

Inspired by the traditional Provençal sweet Calisson, an almond-shaped paste of candied fruit topped with fondant icing. This edp launches with bergamot and sugary milk. Fresh orange blossom radiates from the heart, supported by a warm and creamy sandalwood. Base notes of caramel, vanilla and musk complete the mouth-watering effect.

Perfumer: Fabrice Pellegrin approached the song through the angle of a soft transition into a new era.

Kumaru is the name of the tree that produces the star of this composition: the incredibly expressive tonka bean. This sensual and comforting fragrance is built around this versatile material in all its facets: woody, balsamic, vanillic and almondy, with hints of tobacco and hay. Cardamom, roasted barley and amber add a gourmand texture that shimmers between touchable and lickable. Musks heighten the addictive quality.

Shaped by French beauty influencer and tech academic Mia Fall (@socharmante), Vanilla for Breakfast is an olfactory confession of her deepest obsession: vanilla. Sweet almond extract, milky and tender, harmonizes with creamy benzoin as not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different vanillas assert themselves. A vanilla tincture lifts first alongside the sweet almond. Vanilla CO2 bridges the top to the heart. Vanilla absolute from Madagascar settles into the heart and base. And finally, a twentyfold concentrated vanilla absolute, the most enveloping of all, stays with you forever. Roasted tonka absolute underscores the message with its toasted depth. Most vanillas take their time. This one wakes up early!

A beguiling fog of vanilla pod, tonka bean and hazelnut, swirled through with almond and coconut milk. Airy green jasmine allows the sweetness to stay on the right side of unrelenting, while crème brûlée and long-lasting musk ensure this haze is more than a phase.

Velvet's deep notes of vanilla, rose and amber are made sheer with skin musk. The drydown reveals an unexpectedly delicate and smoky sillage for a breathable indulgence when it meets bare skin.

This is the Personal version of Velvet, for those who prefer a subtle, intimately-projecting fragrance that invites closeness. Also try Velvet | Balanced & Expressive and Velvet | Bold.

Inspired by the dream of an upside-down world. Mandarin and blood orange mix with aquatic, airy and green notes to create a surreal dreamscape where the sky is beneath your feet and a vast blue ocean hangs over your head. See-through boats drift by, and the invigorating aroma of imaginary citrus trees energizes your senses. You don’t want to go back to the world you know.
