Avant l’Orage

by Philippine Courtière

Maison Matine Avant l’Orage is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Philippine Courtière. Avant l’Orage opens with Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Musk, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla. Maison Matine's Avant l’Orage carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This is a milky, creamy vanilla and sandalwood scent. Often compared to Zadig & Voltaire's This Is Her, but with softer projection and shorter longevity. It's an easy-wearing, cozy skin scent for those who prefer their fragrances subtle.

About

Opens with a whisper of pink pepper, setting a gentle, warm spicy tone rather than a sharp bite. This quickly melds into a heart of smooth, powdery benzoin and delicate jasmine, creating a soft, almost lactonic embrace. The dry down is a comforting blend of creamy vanilla, tonka bean, and a sweet sandalwood that lingers intimately on the skin, grounded by a clean, subtle musk.
