Maison Matine defines Avant l'Orage as a gourmet fragrance. It is, like all the fragrances of this brand, not too tense, not at all pompous. Of course, it doesn't distinguish between men's and women's scents, what an old thing.
- 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. Avant L'Orage's perfumer is Philippine Courtiére and the packaging designer is Mathile Purseigle.
