All about this fragrance

Vibe check

The mood is the first outing in a prized pair of trainers: immaculate rubber underfoot, honeyed rose in the air. Its generous presence suits a lively evening where the wearer wants sensuality with an unconventional edge, rather than a discreet floral impression.

How to wear

Its rich rose, oud and balsamic base make cooler weather a natural starting point. Begin with one spray on the torso and assess before adding more; the fragrance is described as diffusive and long-lasting. In warmer conditions, a lighter application keeps the honeyed floral warmth from dominating.

Who it’s for

For those drawn to substantial rose fragrances, saffron-spiced woods and leather-like textures, but curious about a less traditional treatment. The new-trainer accord gives its sensual floral core a rubbery, streetwear-inflected edge; it is better suited to lovers of bold contrasts than delicate, barely-there scents.

The nose

Karine Vinchon-Spehner is known for richly textured compositions that balance expressive florals with woods, resins and darker accents. Her work includes Amouage Memoir Man and Interlude Woman. For Au Pied du Rosier, she balanced the rubbery impression of new sneakers against a warm, honeyed rose, giving the unconventional pairing a substantial woody, balsamic foundation.

Collaborators

Marie Jeanne founder Georges Maubert developed the project with artist Dai Dai Tran, bringing the house's raw-material approach into dialogue with Tran's sneaker-inspired concept. Tran contributed the personal memory behind the fragrance—a coveted pair of Air Max 90 Infrared sneakers—and created the drawing featured on the bottle.

Marie Jeanne’s story

Rooted in Grasse, Marie Jeanne puts distinctive raw materials at the center of its fragrances, favoring pared-back formulas that let their character emerge. Founder Georges Maubert connects a family heritage in perfumery with restrained, laboratory-inspired packaging and artistic collaborations that take familiar ingredients into unexpected territory.

Au Pied du Rosier’s concept

The fragrance grew from Dai Dai Tran's memory of saving for a year to buy Air Max 90 Infrared sneakers. Their layered materials and distinctive new-shoe smell became the starting point for a composition pairing Grasse Centifolia rose with a sneaker accord: warm floral sweetness set against rubber, leather-like textures and a deep woody base.

Extra info

The French note description "accord basket neuve" means new-sneaker accord, not new-basket accord. The official pyramid also identifies the origins of several ingredients, including Centifolia rose from Grasse, saffron from Greece and oud from Indonesia.
