Brocard Once Upon a Time Aphrodisia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Maurice Roucel. Once Upon a Time Aphrodisia opens with Bergamot and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rosewood, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Animalic, Heliotrope, and Vanilla. Brocard's Once Upon a Time Aphrodisia carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A truly special, intoxicating floral musk that feels like a hidden gem. It's complex, luxurious, and evokes a sophisticated fantasy, a world away from a simple aphrodisiac.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opens with a bright, floral citrus burst of bergamot and blackcurrant before unfolding into an exquisite heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang, underscored by the gentle woodiness of rosewood. The dry down is a sophisticated embrace of powdery heliotrope and warm vanilla, anchored by a delicate animalic musk, creating a scent that's both luscious and gently mysterious.
