Anatole Lebreton Fleur Cach\u00e9e is an exquisitely rendered gourmand vanilla perfume. This comforting, caramel tinged fragrance is an homage to the exotic and highly coveted spices which fuelled the age of discovery. The first port of call is Nepal with the piquant kick of timut pepper humming in citrus heat. Staying vaguely in South Asia, the golden hues of turmeric offer delicate earthiness.

The vanilla note is made more sumptuous thanks to a decadent coffee facet – adding an indulgent thick treacle aroma with a hint of deep, dark liquorice. Fleur Cach\u00e9e is never cloyingly sweet, as Anatole Lebreton delicately foregrounds vanilla\u2019s natural lactonic sweetness, while the artful addition of a powdery iris tone keeps things bright and bouncy. <\/p>\n
