Fragrance Profile
Après L’Ondée (“After the Shower”) captures the tranquil moment when rainclouds drift away and the garden breathes again. A filigree of aniseed opens the scene, recalling the first shy gleam of returning light. From the damp earth rises a powder-soft chorus: violet and iris unfold in pastel watercolours, while carnation lends a faint, spicy heartbeat. As the air dries, a feathering of vanilla and pale woods drapes the florals in quiet warmth, leaving a nostalgic veil that feels more like memory than perfume. The result is a poetic landscape rendered in fragrance—an ode to fleeting beauty and the hush that follows gentle rain.
