Grimoire

Grimoire by Anatole Lebreton is a profoundly evocative, incense-laden fragrance that seamlessly blends dry, earthy, herbal, and animalic notes into a narrative-rich scent. It opens with a sharp, citric burst of bergamot and basil, quickly giving way to a dense, spicy core dominated by cumin, olibanum, and woody resins. The heart reveals a depth of mossy, leathered, and almost medicinal textures, reminiscent of ancient libraries and monastic interiors. Over time, it mellows into a warm, ambery drydown with a faintly sweet, dusty quality, evoking forgotten scrolls and candle-warmed stone chambers. Despite its strength and longevity, the scent maintains a surprising subtlety and complexity, with many users noting its slow, deliberate evolution and the quiet, almost hallucinatory aesthetic it conjures — a place between fantasy and deep introspection. Its uneven sillage and animalic core make it a deeply personal, intimate experience rather than a wearable crowd-pleaser.
