The Story

Aesthete by Le Galion is a Leather fragrance for men. Aesthete was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Vanina Muracciole. Top notes are Mandarin Orange, Saffron, Incense and Artemisia; middle notes are Leather, Agarwood (Oud), Guaiac Wood, Castoreum and Jasmine; base notes are Vanilla, White Musk and Sandalwood. Hidden behind each Le Galion fragrance is: a poet, a musician, a magician. A fragrance is more than the result of mixing flowers into a bouquet, or adding spices and woods to a selection of flowers. It requires a touch of magic, something Paul Vacher used to add when creating his masterpieces. In his mansion in the Parisian suburbs of Neuilly, with bottles lined up on the wooden shelves of his laboratory, he composed fragrances like others composed poetry or music. A fervent art lover and pianist himself, he was inspired by friends like Maurice Ravel. In a tribute to the aesthete and perfumer of the house, Le Galion has created Aesthete, an elegant and refined fragrance of Persian leather. Aesthete opens on Italian Mandarine, essence of Davana, hyperessense incense and Saffron, continuing on a leathery heart, Guaiac wood, Castoreum, Oud and Jasmine, all supported on a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla and White Musk.

Fragrances that pair well with Aesthete

+Bourrasque (2020)
Featured Pairing

Saffron Oud Amber Rose

Jasmine and citrus link Aesthete's smoky oud and leather to Bourrasque's rose, opoponax and wild strawberry, so a dark, castoreum-tinged wood gets an unexpected fruity-floral counterpoint. Warm spice runs through both, keeping the smoky leather from feeling out of place next to the sweeter amber.

Spray Aesthete first for the smoky leather-oud base, then add Bourrasque (2020) at the chest so the rose and strawberry brighten it on top.
