Isabey Paris Avant et Apres is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Marie Schnirer. Avant et Apres opens with Freesia and Frangipani, settles into a heart of Monoï, Jasmin Sambac, Orange Blossom, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Ambroxan, and Benzoin. Isabey Paris's Avant et Apres carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A truly divisive tropical floral, Avant et Apres is either a sublime, elegant summer dream or a cheap, synthetic mess. It's got serious crowd-pleasing potential for some, but others will find it utterly uninspired.

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:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile, leaning towards casual and date wear due to its inviting, creamy floral character. It's a bit too relaxed and distinctly tropical for formal settings, and its warmth makes it less suitable for sport.

About

Imagine the air thick with blooming frangipani and creamy ylang-ylang, kissed by the sun. This opens with a lush, almost nectarous blend of tropical flowers, leaning into a creamy monoï and jasmine heart. As it settles, a soft, skin-like musk emerges, sweetened by vanilla and grounded by a hint of ambroxan and benzoin, evoking a luxurious, sun-kissed warmth without veering into overt gourmand territory.
