Les Bras de Morphée

Inspiration
Les Bras de Morphée is a comforting fragrance, an embrace suspended between dream and reality. Its hypnotic trail is built around the noble elegance of orris and melts into ambery notes where vanilla, hazelnut and tonka bean blend. There comes a moment when our defences fall away and we yield to what soothes us: a shoulder, a voice, a memory. Morpheus, son of Sleep and Night, is more than a dream: he is a threshold to stillness and surrender.

The Signature of Les Bras de Morphée
Jean-David Jacoby wanted a hug, a soft and comforting fragrance, and spontaneously thought of orris. Perfumer Suzy Le Helley envisioned a dreamed, idealised orris, with all its facets pushed to the extreme. The powdery, enveloping side is accentuated by violet, vanilla and the almondy tones of tonka and heliotrope. The green, crisp side comes through violet leaf and hazel, while the woody, earthy root facet is reinforced by Cashmeran. A peach accord adds a velvety, fruity softness.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
We find Les Bras de Morphée one of the most comforting orris scents we know: powdery, creamy and never dusty. A scent for quiet evenings and for anyone seeking softness with refinement.
