When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

A versatile cool-leaning lavender. The crisp, clean lavender opening keeps it wearable in spring, while the smoky incense and creamy tonka drydown lend a cozy, contemplative warmth that wearers reach for on overcast, grey days through autumn and winter. Its gentle, low-projection nature keeps it from feeling heavy in warmer months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its understated, low-projection character and clean lavender-incense signature make it an ideal office and casual scent - present without being intrusive. The sophisticated, ironed-linen quality also carries quiet formal evening wear, though its softness makes it too subtle for a high-impact date and too gentle for sport.

About

Gris Clair opens with a sophisticated, gentle lavender, softened by the creamy sweetness of tonka bean and a subtle whisper of iris. As it settles, a warm, smoky incense emerges, beautifully intertwined with a resinous amber, creating a serene and contemplative aura. It's a scent that balances the aromatic freshness of lavender with a deep, woody, almost ash-like warmth.
