Avant et Apres

Avant et Apres is a creamy, tropical floral fragrance with a delicate yet ethereal presence. It opens with fresh frangipani and freesia, evoking a soft, radiant bouquet reminiscent of tropical island blossoms. The heart, built around jasmine sambac, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang, is rich and slightly sweet, with a subtle salt note that enhances its uplifting, solar warmth. The base unwinds into soft vanilla, creamy ambroxan, benzoin, and musk, creating a softly vanillic skin scent that lingers gently for hours after the initial bloom fades. The perfume is perceived as most refined in warmer weather, where its tropical florals and creamy depth shine. It is not overly strong or loud—sillage is moderate to strong only at close range, and longevity is substantial but varies, with some noting up to 12 hours and others 5–6 hours. Like a sun-drenched dream, the fragrance transforms from vibrant floral burst to a warm, sweet vanillic trail, making it an elegant summer signature for those who appreciate subtle sweetness without cloying heaviness.
