Mon Soleil

Eau de Parfum
Mon Soleil is sunlight with texture — bright citrus, creamy florals and amber warmth pressed close to skin. Radiant at first, then softer, warmer, impossible to shake.

Mon Soleil feels like a memory of summer, bottled. It opens in a flash of sun — bright bergamot bursting like citrus on warm skin, calling to mind golden mornings along the Amalfi coast. Fresh, luminous, full of life.

Then comes the sweetness: ripe blackcurrant, juicy and unexpected, like wandering through an open-air market in late afternoon. There’s something carefree about it — a playful nod to slow days, full glasses, and spontaneous joy.

As the sun dips, the scent deepens. Amber glows softly beneath it all, grounded by gentle woods — warm, rustic, quietly sensual. It doesn’t overpower; it lingers, like the last light before evening falls.

Mon Soleil moves effortlessly between day and night, summer and memory. It’s vibrant but grounded, romantic but never too much. Worn by anyone, anywhere — it simply becomes part of you.

Not just a fragrance. A feeling of light. Of warmth. Of being exactly where you want to be.

Madagascan Bourbon Vanilla

Olfactory Family - Ambrée
Harvest Dates - June - September

Madagascar’s Vanilla planifolia (so-called Bourbon vanilla) is cultivated under hot, humid tropical conditions on shaded plantations. Each orchid flower is hand-pollinated, and pods ripen over roughly 9 months before harvest.

Post-harvest, beans undergo the classic Bourbon curing: a “kill” (hot water scald), then sweating warm wrap for 12–14 h) to trigger enzyme action, followed by sun-drying and shade-curing (weeks to months).This laborious process unbinds glucovanillin into vanillin and related phenolic aldehydes, and slowly forms lactones and other volatiles that give Madagascar vanilla its signature richness.

Bourbon beans are prized for a full-bodied, sweet-creamy profile – think honeyed or caramel notes over deep balsamic and warm spice.

In perfumery, an “overdose” of Madagascan vanilla yields a lush gourmand warmth and exceptional staying power: its high vanillin (and coumarin) content plus resinous fixative nature make the scent velvety long-lived and blendable with woods, spices and ambers.

Once cured, Madagascar Bourbon vanilla yields an opulent olfactory bouquet. Vanillin itself provides the classic creamy-sweet backbone, but dozens of related compounds add complexity. In high concentration (an “overdose” in Mon Soleil) this translates to a beautifully gourmand warmth: think warm vanilla custard or crème brûlée wafting from the fragrance. Vanilla’s heavy molecules also slow evaporation, acting as a natural fixative, substantially extending longevity.

In Mon Soleil, the rich vanilla absolute anchors the heart and base, melding with warm resins and woods to create a sunlit, creamy drydown that lasts all day.
