Aldebaran

It’s a white light in the darkness. A mysterious brightness radiating from a nocturnal clearing. The caress of the moon on a field of tuberoses, immaculate petals reflecting the glow of the star like a mirror. It’s a star, Aldebaran, one of the brightest in the sky, the second star in the floral constellation imagined by its creator Marc-Antoine Barrois and his long-time accomplice, the perfumer Quentin Bisch.

There’s no Fracas, no Poison. No coloratura trills, no deviations from purity. Just a bouquet of tuberoses, pink-tipped buds standing on their green stems; coconut-fleshed corollas, barely brushed with a crunchy shadow reminiscent of stem juice; a spicy veil of pollen. Both protective and haughty, in Aldebaran the diva of white flowers spreads her powerful halo of fragrance solo. A simplicity that gives the composition its dazzling modernity.

Aldebaran is a luminous fragrance. Quentin Bisch reinterprets the diva of white flowers, giving her a freshness and purity that are almost absolute. Working alongside Marc-Antoine Barrois, the perfumer has pushed the limits of this iconic flower, creating an olfactory composition of rare elegance, both delicate and addictive. Like a luminous star in the night, this new fragrance is a soliflore of milky-faceted tuberose and fresh petals, enhanced by paprika and Tonka beans. Aldebaran embodies hope and optimism. Aldebaran embodies hope and optimism.

Aldebaran takes its name from the brightest star discovered and observed by an 18th-century Arab astronomer. Its name, from the Arabic Al-Debaran, evokes the outstretched hand of one who helps and shows the way. This olfactory experience is a quest for optimism, like going through the looking glass, from
shadow to light. Telle une traversée du miroir, de l’ombre vers la
lumière.

“Like a Patronus in the magical world of Harry Potter, Aldebaran represents a magical light that attracts me, a positive force, a projection of hope and optimism.” – Marc-Antoine Barrois.
