Maison Matine define Avant l'Orage Like a gourmet fragrance. It's, like all the fragrances from this brand, low-key, not at all bombastic. Of course, it doesn't distinguish between men's and women's scents—how old-fashioned that is.
- Top note: pink pepper. Here's the excitement.
- Heart notes: jasmine sambac, benzoin. This is loss.
- Base notes: Vanilla, santal wood, tonka bean, musk. This is what contradiction smells like.
This brand prides itself on being made up of many creatives. The perfumer of Avant L'Orage is Philippine Courtiére and the designer of packaging, Mathile Purseigle.
