Soufflot
A woody-gourmand fragrance evoking a spring morning on Rue Soufflot, Soufflot layers roasted chestnut and hazelnut with green mandarin over a plush heart of sambac jasmine, honey and cinnamon leaf. Tobacco absolute, leather, resins and Orcanox melt into a smooth amber haze that feels creamy, smoky and quietly enveloping.
Scent Development and Character
Soufflot is a woody-gourmand Eau de Parfum that opens with a softly roasted nut accord of chestnut and hazelnut brightened by green mandarin, suggesting warm brioche and coffee on a Parisian morning. A heart of luminous sambac jasmine absolute is sweetened with honey and traced with the gentle spice of cinnamon leaf, creating a plush, floral-gourmand core. In the drydown, tobacco absolute weaves through Peru balsam, leather, labdanum, cypriol, Siam benzoin resin and Orcanox, forming a smooth, resinous amber glow that feels creamy, slightly smoky and quietly enveloping.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Soufflot wears as a cozy yet polished scent, with enough sweetness and warmth for cool spring and autumn days but sufficient structure to feel composed in the office or at dinner. The nutty-gourmand opening and honeyed floral heart sit close to the skin after the first hour, while the tobacco-leather-resin base creates a gentle trail that is more intimate than loud, making it suitable for daily wear, dates and quiet evenings. Best in cool to mild weather, especially autumn and early spring, with some versatility extending into winter for those who enjoy cozy gourmands. Sillage is Moderate sillage with a noticeable but not overpowering trail; it projects clearly for the first couple of hours before settling closer to the skin. Longevity is Above-average longevity for an Eau de Parfum, around 7–9 hours on skin with the resinous and tobacco-leather base lasting longest.
