Grisette

Inspiration
In Belle Époque Paris, grisette was the name for a young, cheerful working girl of the bohemian quarter. With small steps and a proud look she hurries through the crowd on the boulevard towards her fickle lover. Yet she dreams of another, and of a first kiss under an awning.

The Signature of Grisette
Grapefruit and bergamot announce the simplicity of roses from Morocco and Bulgaria. In the heart, discreet and wrapped in a cloud of incense, lies orris concrete. The woody cedar base is musky and ambery at once, softened by Madagascan vanilla. Perfumer: Thomas Fontaine.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Grisette is sweet without being dull, which we find impressive. The rose is fresh thanks to the grapefruit, and the iris with incense gives it a powdery, almost nostalgic air. After a few hours you mostly smell vanilla and musk, soft as a powder puff. It is a scent that cheers you up. Lovely at work, at lunch or on an afternoon in Paris.
