By the editors · 2 min readAlberto Morillas created Pi Fraîche as a summer variation on the 1998 Pi — retaining the benzoin backbone but repositioning it beneath a citrus-herb opening that significantly lightens the approach. Bergamot, grapefruit, and tangerine open together, interrupted by clary sage, giving the top a slightly culinary-green register.
The original's near-total vanilla dominance is removed; jasmine and pine needles in the heart serve as structural connectives before benzoin and amber take over in the dry-down. What emerges is a fragrance that uses Pi's signature warmth as a finish rather than a premise. The benzoin arrives late, lingers long, and anchors an otherwise fresh composition to something quieter and more resinous.
