Avant l'Orage

Avant l'Orage by Maison Matine is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pink pepper, moves into sambac jasmine and benzoin and dries down to vanilla, sandalwood, tonka bean and musk. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.

Heart

• Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
• Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
• Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
