Brun Prévenance is a sensory universe, with smoked honeyed tea sublimated by neroli and vetiver revealed by the end of the day. The aroma invites us to abandon ourselves to the silence and calm of the late afternoon as the sun illuminates the earth with its last fires.

Ambre Insouciance brings us in its sensory trail of sunset, delicate lime-tree scents with a hint of cardamom. The aroma infuses us with ardor and dynamism from the beginning of the evening, as the sun progressively declines to make room for his sister, the moon.
