By the editors · 2 min readAprès arrives already halfway through the evening: saffron and cardamom open with a warm, slightly smoky spice that skips the preamble entirely. The heart is where the fragrance settles into its identity — guaiac wood and suede give a texture more than a scent, a kind of soft resistance against the violet's brief floral moment and the praline's quiet sweetness.
Sandalwood, vanilla, and patchouli build the base into something unhurried and warm. Cedar lifts it just enough to keep everything from collapsing inward. This is a fragrance for the hours after something: a late dinner, a walk in cold air, a fire that's just died down. It wears close and rewards patience.
