Grimoire

Anatole Lebreton · 2016

Green · Spicy · Woody

Anatole Lebreton Grimoire is a unisex fragrance with a green, spicy and smoky character, leaning woody and earthy. It opens with bergamot, basil and true lavender, fresh and green. In the heart, elemi resin, frankincense and Atlas cedar build a resinous, woody base. Cumin, moss and patchouli add an earthy, slightly animal trail underneath, and musk softens that rough edge. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, spring and winter, with summer less favoured. It leans towards leisure time and evenings, and fewer voters see it as an office scent. Most read it as masculine, though a fair number find it feminine. Lalique Encre Noire à L'Extrême and Franck Boclet Ashes have a close profile.

L'Eau Scandaleuse

6.9

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Anatole Lebreton L'Eau Scandaleuse is a floral unisex scent that sets fruity sweetness against an animal, leathery depth, and it leans towards evenings and the colder months. It opens with peach, bergamot and davana, then carries tuberose, ylang-ylang and leather at its heart. Nagarmotha, oakmoss and castoreum dominate the base, so the early fruity sweetness gives way to a spicy, animalic, leathery warmth. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions, while daily and office wear sit well behind. Votes lean feminine, though plenty call it classic or masculine.

Fresh · Floral · Green

Anatole Lebreton Caribe Kiss is a fresh, floral unisex scent built around jasmine sambac absolute, pineapple and green mandarin orange. Most voters place Caribe Kiss in leisure and daily wear.
