#427 L'abeille marron
Fragrance notes
Character
#427 L'abeille marron smells like a wooden spoon resting in a jar of dark honey. The chestnut adds a roasted, floury roundness that keeps the sweetness from feeling like a plain sugar syrup. Sandalwood sits underneath with a dry, creamy texture that grounds the blend.
Valery Sokolov composed this unisex release for Le Ré Noir in 2022. The floral accord lifts the heavy gourmand notes just enough to keep the air around the wearer breathable. There is an animalic thread running through the honey that gives the scent a slightly wild, untamed edge.
This is a fragrance for a bright afternoon when the air feels crisp and the light hits bare branches. It suits someone who enjoys a rich, edible scent but still wants a woody backbone. People who dislike heavy, syrupy compositions or animalic facets should look elsewhere.
Picture a brown bee moving slowly over a wooden table where a bowl of chestnuts and sandalwood shavings sit next to a pot of honey.
