Le Pari d'Honfleur

I really like this. Perhaps the best fragrance nobody is talking about right now? Opens really green and grassy, almost like that earthy smell rising from the pavement after it rains and dew rolling down the freshest of stems. The fig arrives supported by this gorgeous coconut, giving it this cocooning sensuality that both invites and allures. Once settled, it transforms into this buttery and creamy scent, like skin freshly lotioned and soft to the touch. That savoury papyrus makes a friendly appearance too, giving us that powdery and bookish twang in the background. Definitely one to check out.

Love. Le Pari d’Honfleur is what you would expect if Parisian Musc and Philosykos had a baby and added a touch of tonka to it. I love all those things, so this is predictably also a love. I already have both Philosykos and a fragrance that strongly resembles Parisian Musc, but this is amazing enough that I still picked up a 30ml bottle of it. (So happy to have a smaller bottle option).

Interesting and pleasantly dry take on fig milk and fuzzy fig leaf. Still strong on my skin 18 hrs later.

Smells like a fresh shower. I am quite partial to fig so maybe I’m a bit biased.

beautiful earthy wet smell. wish it would be more present
