Grand Chalet Incense

Deep in the Swiss Alps, in a small and peaceful village, stands the Grand Chalet — the home Balthus chose in his later years, enchanted by its healing climate and the ancient lime trees surrounding his studio. This fragrance is drawn from that place: milk, honey, and the citrus drift of linden blossom, preserved like a memory of someone else's happiness.

In a room, it reads as warm and quietly luminous — lifted and soft rather than heavy. Suited to a bedroom, a sitting room, or anywhere that benefits from a gentle, unhurried presence.

Mimosa and heliotrope open with a soft, powdery warmth — sweet without excess. Bergamot introduces a clean citrus lift at the top, while myrtle and linden flower add a cool, green floral clarity at the heart. Sandalwood grounds the composition with a quiet, creamy depth, and musk carries everything to a soft, lasting close.
