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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring

Its sweet, rose and vanilla composition leans towards autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its price point and artistic bottle suggest it's more for display than daily wear. The rich, sweet accords like vanilla, almond, and rose are too opulent for the office or sport, but ideal for a luxurious date night or extremely formal event if one dared to wear it.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

La Petite Robe Noire Macon&Lesquoy Edition kicks off with a burst of sweet and tart sour cherry and red berries, brightened by a hint of bergamot, with almond adding a delightful, nutty edge. The heart unfurls with a rich, velvety rose, intricately woven with the warm, slightly bitter aroma of tea and a touch of mysterious licorice. As it settles, a comforting base of powdery iris, earthy patchouli, and sweet vanilla emerges, all softened by the creamy embrace of tonka bean and a subtle whisper of anise.
