A Star for Hope: Aldebaran Marc Antoine Barrois
The name Aldebaran itself refers to a bright red star in the constellation Taurus. Barrois draws on the star’s brightness and symbolic meaning (hope, a guiding light, a presence in the darkness) to frame the olfactory concept. The perfumer Quentin Bisch and Barrois focus on tuberose not in its day-bloom glory, but in that moment when it’s strongest at night, under moonlight — petals fresh, luminous, almost surreal.
Olfactory Notes
From the first whiff, there's a burst of paprika - bright, spicy, like a little ember in your nose. It's so fresh and unexpected! Then, the tuberose comes in - all lush and creamy with those white flowers that glow like they're under moonlight. But there's also a hint of something fresh and green in there. After that first wave, you can start to smell the maté - it's like a smoky herbal whisper that gives the scent more depth and ashy quality. It balances out the richness of all the other notes. And then, finally, the tonka bean comes in. It softens everything and brings that warm, vanilla-y sweetness. There's also some hay-ish woodiness and a lingering comfort that makes the scent last.
