A tribute to the peace and harmony of a late summer afternoon; a fragrance that is pure, serene and enveloping.

A peaceful stroll through the wheat fields and almond trees as the light of a summer day wanes and the warmth of the air caresses your skin… Admiring the beauty of the sun as it starts dipping behind the rolling hills and bunches of wild roses and geraniums color the dimming countryside.

Their bountiful blooms release subtle droplets of nectar that float in the air and blend with the earthy scent of freshly cut wood, invading the early night…

Kumaru is the name of the tree that produces the star of this composition: the incredibly expressive tonka bean. This sensual and comforting fragrance is built around this versatile material in all its facets: woody, balsamic, vanillic and almondy, with hints of tobacco and hay. Cardamom, roasted barley and amber add a gourmand texture that shimmers between touchable and lickable. Musks heighten the addictive quality.

Shaped by French beauty influencer and tech academic Mia Fall (@socharmante), Vanilla for Breakfast is an olfactory confession of her deepest obsession: vanilla. Sweet almond extract, milky and tender, harmonizes with creamy benzoin as not one, not two, not three, but FOUR different vanillas assert themselves. A vanilla tincture lifts first alongside the sweet almond. Vanilla CO2 bridges the top to the heart. Vanilla absolute from Madagascar settles into the heart and base. And finally, a twentyfold concentrated vanilla absolute, the most enveloping of all, stays with you forever. Roasted tonka absolute underscores the message with its toasted depth. Most vanillas take their time. This one wakes up early!

Andevalo was born under the blazing sun of western Andalusia. A land where cistus shrubs exude a thick, resinous gum saturated with heat and light. This extrait is built around a trio of labdanum extracts, expressing their full ambery depth. Strawberry CO₂ extract, along with raspberry and black cherry accords, bring a pulpy, sensual brightness, quickly absorbed by supple leather and mineral warmth. Enveloping dark woods and patchouli leave a dense and long-lasting trail of smoke and dark sweetness.
