From Marc-Antoine Barrois:

It’s a white light in the darkness. A mysterious clarity radiating across a nocturnal clearing. The moon’s caress over a field of tuberoses, immaculate petals reflecting the star’s glow like a mirror. It is a star, ALDEBARAN, one of the brightest in the sky; the second star in the floral constellation imagined by designer Marc-Antoine Barrois and his accomplice, perfumer Quentin Bisch. Like a luminous star in the night, this new fragrance is a tuberose soliflore with milky facets and fresh petals, lightly enhanced with paprika and tonka beans. 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 someone who helps and shows the way. This olfactory experience is a quest for optimism, like a journey through the looking glass, from shadow to light.’ – Marc-Antoine Barrois

‘Born from a bouquet of tuberose, the most fatal of flowers. Work the milky facets and fresh petal notes, sprinkle with a pinch of paprika to redden everything. Tonka bean for addiction.’ – Quentin Bisch
