A UNE MADONE Eau de Parfum

Sale price€150,00
Size:

Ugandan vanilla surprised Pierre Guillaume with its contradictions: gourmand softness alongside nuances of leather, fruity cocoa and peaty whisky. It brought to mind Charles Baudelaire’s poem À une Madone, where a divine image meets bodily passion. The fragrance takes both its name and its sensual tension from that encounter.

Cardamom and sandalwood draw out vanilla’s warm gourmand side, while a guaiac-wood-and-milk accord adds softness. Myrrh, styrax, guaiac and gurjum nuances join castoreum and civet accords to emphasise a darker, animalic character. Vanilla remains the principal theme, with its sweetness closely tied to wood, resin and leather.

Milky, powdery warmth meets animalic sensuality in a composition that reveals several sides of vanilla. Its appeal lies equally in the softness and in a more provocative leathery, resinous character. À une Madone gives vanilla richness and complexity without reducing it to uniform sweetness.
