Alahine
Alahine opens with a rush of lavender that feels neither soapy nor aromatic in the usual sense—there's brightness from bergamot and a pink pepper shimmer that keeps it from settling into anything expected.
Café Cabanel
Café Cabanel opens with the warm jolt of roasted coffee softened by cinnamon's gentle spice—not the sharp bite of espresso, but something quieter, like the smell of beans ground near a pastry counter.
Oha
Oha opens with a clean burst of bergamot that quickly clears the runway for what follows: a full-throated rose accord built from Bulgarian and generic rose, jasmine hovering alongside it, and cardamom lending a warm spiced edge that tilts the composition eastward.
Barkhane
Barkhane announces its character early: bergamot's brightness burns off quickly, and cumin takes over — warm, slightly carnal, the kind of note that divides rooms.
Oh Là Là
Opens with saffron's warm leather-tinged spice against hazelnut's nutty sweetness — a gourmand suggestion, but kept dry.
Et Voilà
Neroli opens with a soft white-floral citrus lift, slightly green and slightly sweet, immediately polite in posture.
Julia
Black currant opens with a sharp, almost jammy tartness that quickly softens as jasmine and violet rise to meet it.
Meloe
Meloe opens with a bright citrus-herbal accord — bergamot and lemon over basil and lavender — that feels clean and purposeful rather than generic.
Rendez Vous
Rendez Vous opens with mimosa and violet leaf — golden-dusty and slightly green — alongside almond, which arrives soft rather than sharp or marzipan-sweet.
Early Roses
Pink pepper and rose announce themselves immediately — the pepper sharp and assertive, the rose full and fresh rather than jammy.
Lace Garden
Ylang-ylang and lemon open together — the ylang pushing creamy, almost rubbery facets while the citrus keeps it from turning heavy.
Hegoa
Hegoa opens with lemon and bergamot — a clean, slightly zesty citrus that reads bright without being sharp.
Très French
Pear and peony open together, the pear bringing a soft, slightly grainy sweetness and the peony contributing a clean floral lift.
Ça Boum
The opening centers on jasmine and lily of the valley together — bright, clean white florals with a faintly green, dewy quality.
Kasar
Kasar opens with bergamot lifting a rose heart into focus, but the spices move quickly — cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg create a warm, dry cluster that dominates the middle phase.
Encore
Peach leads the opening — juicy and rounded, but it fades quickly into the heart.
Deja Vu
Raspberry opens bright and jammy, a candied fruit flash that settles quickly into a suede-like leather accord when the skin-soft musk arrives.
Jaspe
Lavender, grapefruit, and bergamot open with a aromatic citrus freshness underscored by herbal lavender's dry warmth.
Oha (2023)
Bergamot offers a crisp, citrusy opening that is bright but short-lived, quickly making way for the floral heart.
