Grace de Monaco Launches Ombre Sereine
24th June 2023Introducing Ombre Sereine
The world’s first luxury-for-good Maison, Grace de Monaco, unveils Ombre Sereine eau de parfum, a provocative new scent.
Ombre Sereine ignites with a passionate embrace. With top notes of pink berry and mimosa, Ombre Sereine is intriguing and sensual as layers of bergamot, orange blossom, and lavender mingle with deeper notes of leather and musk. Exhilarating and bold — Ombre Sereine is a daring invitation into the world of Grace de Monaco.
What begins as a rich, classic chypre fragrance, elevates with lavender, and sea-fresh, sun-soaked mimosa. As the perfume develops, it conjures up the fragrant fleur d’oranger and jasmine of the mountains of Southern France — Princess Grace’s favourite escape. After a few hours, a subtle, sultry tobacco rises, reminiscent of a richly furnished room where echoes of enlightened conversations linger.
Ombre Sereine is Light and Dark
Whilst the luxury Maison had collaborated with perfumery icons Veronique Gabai and Olivier Cresp for its first two fragrances, Grace de Monaco turned to an exciting emerging talent in the realms of haute perfumery for Ombre Sereine. Xavier Blaizot, a seventh-generation perfumer, crafted a fragrance complex filled with dichotomous delights, Ombre Sereine is light and dark, playful and sombre, a cocktail-fuelled party, and a smoky salon.
I was fascinated by the idea of representing Princess Grace’s seminal transition, without trying to impose something too specific. I was searching for an impression, an aura, an atmosphere. We started playing with something that had a hint of vintage, but with a modern approach – a touch of classic perfumery married with my signature, unusual accords. Personally, what makes this perfume special and unique is the synergy between old and new. It feels familiar, but fascinating and alluring all at once; it’s illusionary rather than precise.
Xavier Blaizot, Perfumer
