Launched in 2023 by Andrea Maack, Solstice is a unisex fragrance created by perfumer Julien Rasquinet. This composition opens with the freshness of sea notes and watermelon, immediately evoking a bracing sense of aquatic clarity. The heart of lily-of-the-valley and jasmine softens this crispness with delicate floral tones, while violet adds an unexpected touch of depth. The base notes of sinfonide and amber bring warmth and comfort, grounding the scent in a soothing embrace.

One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of Solstice. The aquatic top notes fade within an hour but leave behind a warm and comforting base that lingers throughout the day. Best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh, invigorating scent.

Julien Rasquinet’s life took a decisive turn when his father met nose extraordinaire Pierre Bourdon, by accident in an airport. Rasquinet who didn’t know anything about perfumery beyond his own passion for it, called Bourdon, who decided to take him instead of thousands of other candidates to be his last student, and bare his legacy, as Edmond Roudnitska had done with him. Call it perfumer’s intuition.

The story behind the bottle.
The crisp, refreshing sensation of stepping into a cool ocean breeze on a bright summer day, where floral notes intertwine with the salty tang of sea spray.
