Sérénité en Bourgogne
Saffron and pink pepper move into the warmth of myrrh and boya, then settle into the sweet depth of patchouli and vanilla. Eight & Bob ties this scent to a quiet moment in Burgundy at harvest time.
Eight & Bob frames this fragrance around a story from its own lore: the time Albert Fouquet spent September in Burgundy. In the brand's telling, he returned to his family's château to oversee the grape harvest himself. His days began with quiet mornings above the vines and ended in the busy energy of picking. Sérénité en Bourgogne reaches for the calm that comes before that bustle.
It opens with a saffron accord and CO2-extracted pink pepper, a dry, bright spice that gives the start a clear outline. In the heart, the resinous warmth of myrrh oil meets Vietnamese boya, and the edge of the spice slowly softens. The base pairs Madagascan patchouli oil with a Bourbon vanilla extract. Over the earthy depth of the patchouli, the vanilla adds a sweet, sensual hint of gourmand.
Spice, resin and vanilla, all warm materials, build on one another in stages. True to its harvest-season premise, it suits the time of year when the air starts to cool. Choose it on days when you want calm warmth rather than lightness.
