Son Venïn Pain Nouveau is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Caroline Malléjac. Pain Nouveau opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Cereals, Orange Blossom, Mimosa, and Bread, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Son Venïn's Pain Nouveau carries a Favourite verdict, a savory-led wear.

A truly unique scent, Pain Nouveau is either a bizarre mishmash or a nuanced masterpiece. Expect a distinctive bread accord, green fig and a comforting drydown that's divisive but never dull. If you're after a skin scent that turns heads (or noses), this is it.

About

Pain Nouveau pulls you in with a striking blend of green fig leaf and a peppery zing, underpinned by bright bergamot. The heart unfolds into a gourmand marvel of warm cereal and freshly baked bread, softened by delicate mimosa and orange blossom. A sophisticated base of smooth sandalwood, ambroxan, and creamy vanilla grounds the scent, leaving a clean, woody, and subtly sweet trail.
