Late summer on a wild beach: blackberry bushes in the coastal dune grass, iodine on the lips, fingertips stained purple. The vertigo of standing on an ocean clifftop, the invigorating north wind. The fragrance unfolds: salted rock, caressed by tangy blackberry and swept by sea spray. Pebbles warmed by the sun, a sap of mineral roses. Deep breaths.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An afternoon that stretches outdoors until the wind picks up: sleeves pushed back, blackberry juice on the fingers, salt still on the lips. The tart fruit gives the marine mineral accord a tactile warmth, projecting an alert, open-air presence rather than polished formality.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring weather or late summer, when the contrast between tart berries and salty minerals feels especially apt. Begin with one or two sprays on skin; its bold character calls for restraint indoors. Skin application lets the vetiver and mineral musk sit beneath the brighter marine impression.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to green fruit, saline air and stony textures rather than conventional citrus freshness. It suits a taste for assertive marine fragrances, with blackberry adding a tart, tangible counterpoint to the mineral and woody base.

The nose
Marie Schnirer is an independent perfumer working through her Paris-based MS Lab. Her practice translates creative briefs into distinctive olfactory compositions through close dialogue with their originators. For Falaise 49.5°N, she worked with founder Camille Hauguel to give a personal coastal memory its tart, saline and mineral form.
Collaborators
Founder Camille Hauguel supplied the childhood memories of Normandy that shaped the fragrance’s creative brief. Through extensive conversations with Marie Schnirer, she helped establish the shared sensations and emotional references behind the composition.
Milleseve’s story
Millesève approaches perfume as a way of recovering a place through a precise sensation. Its idea of sève, or sap, encompasses a landscape’s light, materials and traces of time. Rooted in lived memories, the house pairs gender-free fragrance with French craftsmanship and nearby production partners.
Falaise 49.5°N (Cliff 49.5°N)’s concept
Falaise 49.5°N grew from memories of picking wild blackberries on Normandy’s cliffs at the end of summer. Purple-stained fingers, iodine on the lips and pebbles warmed by sunlight become contrasts of tart fruit, marine air and mineral texture. It belongs to the house’s four-fragrance debut collection.
Extra info
The official name is Falaise 49.5°N; Cliff 49.5°N is its English translation, not a separate edition. The note pyramid includes both wild blackberry and blackberry jam, alongside unusually evocative accords of sea wind and warm pebble. The fragrance uses organic wheat alcohol, without implying that the whole composition is certified organic.
