Grano 麦
Regular price $ 200.00Grano, by perfumer Nour Akoum, brings us to Paris on a rainy morning rich with the scent of rising bread in a nearby boulangerie.
From Jijide
A sweet walk in Paris after a morning rain among the scents of the boulangeries.
Grano tells the story of a suspended and sparkling Paris after the rain. The sidewalks shine under a golden light, and the air with its typical rain scent also carries a muffled and enchanting smell: that of the boulangeries. Walking, you can smell the raw dough starting to bake, the butter melting, the scent of bread overpowering even the bustling city. It's a dense, warm air that makes you slow down, breathe, and lift your nose. Meanwhile, as the humidity dissipates, the bread is ready: crunchy, fragrant, comforting, and intense.

To my nose, Grano opens with a very photo-realistic dough smell, but in a very good, fragrant way, which for some reason drives me back to it over and over again. In a subtle way, touches of greens and citrus begin to emerge giving it freshness. Then the soil and sandalwood give it depth whilst maintaining the depth the warmth and comfort of the of the original dough. Very intriguing, very, very unusual. Absolutely worth trying.
I bought a sample of a crazy weird $200 perfume... Sigh.. I love it.....You immediately get moist clipped grass clumps lifted by some citrus(it doesn't smell of lemon but blends to brighten the opening). Only slightly sweet on the dry down into smooth comforting warmth of a steamy loaf of bread split in half. You get an easy silkyness of sandalwood. It reminds me of being outside and inside at the same time. Cabin with the windows open in drizzling rain.
Out doorsy scent flirting with a gourmand. So smooth. I hate that I love it.
