Aldebaran

If you are on the hunt for an avant-garde tuberose scent, look no further than Marc-Antoine Barrois’ Aldebaran. Cooling, aromatic maté and paprika create a camphor-like veil over creamy, slightly indolic tuberose. It’s difficult to craft a scent that is as fiercely unforgettable as it is delicate, but somehow this is achieved in Aldebaran. From Marc-Antoine Barrois It's a white light piercing the darkness. A mysterious radiance emanating from a moonlit clearing. The gentle caress of moonbeams on a field of tuberoses, their immaculate petals reflecting starlight like mirrors. Like a guiding star in the night, Aldebaran embodies hope and optimism. The second in the house's floral series, Aldebaran is a soliflore celebrating tuberose in all its milky, fresh-petaled glory, enhanced by the warmth of paprika and the richness of tonka beans. Named for the brightest star discovered by an 18th-century Arab astronomer, its name derives from the Arabic Al-Debaran—'the outstretched hand of one who helps and shows the way.' This olfactory journey is a quest for optimism, like stepping through the looking glass from shadow into light. Perfumer Quentin Bisch
