Brioche Vanille

The opening is bright with bergamot and freesia, but the brioche accord arrives almost at once, giving a buttery, freshly baked warmth. Heliotrope brings a powdery floral softness to the heart, and fir balsam adds a resinous, green note that stops the sweetness from running away. The dry-down is smooth and rich: vanilla and praline, bound together by silky benzoin.

Its character is comforting rather than showy, the kind of scent that feels like a warm jumper. Wear it on grey mornings, at weekend brunches or curled up at home with a book. Because the fir balsam and bergamot keep it balanced, it also works for the office and for relaxed evenings out with friends.
