Grand Beau – Extrait de Parfum

Thomas de Monaco – a perfume house from Zurich that calls itself “True Artistic Niche” and thinks of every scent as a work of art.

Thomas de Monaco describes Grand Beau like this: by the sea, beyond the nearest dunes, eyes closed in the shade beneath the pine trees. Pine, juniper berry and tuberose open resinous and bright, incense, vetiver and tonka bean lie in the heart, and ambrette, seaweed and Ambrocenide carry in a salty, warm breeze.

Grand Beau suits summer and holidays, long days outdoors – and every winter day when you're longing for the coast.

What makes Grand Beau special to us is the image it creates at once: resin, salt and sun on skin, without ever getting loud. A woody scent that smells of freedom.
