A Love Letter to Maison Louis Marie No.13 Nouvelle Vague
This fragrance evokes the effortless charm of the French New Wave and the sunlit beaches of the Côte d’Azur. Inspired by the rebellious creativity of la nouvelle vague cinema, this scent is a modern classic, capturing both the freshness of a sea breeze and the sophistication of a minimalist aesthetic.
It opens with a crisp brightness. Lemon and muguet mingle lightly, and watery coconut sits just below the lemon. These airy notes are soon joined by a sharp, green fig, cutting through the sweetness like the clean lines of a Jean-Luc Godard film. The fig is unmistakably fresh, bitter - rather than the possible earthy ripeness.
At its heart, tonka and agave lend a subtle warmth and complexity, softening the sharp edges while never overpowering the fragrance’s breezy quality. The dry-down of vetiver, amber, and sandalwood grounds the scent. The notes linger with a soft, skin-close warmth, leaving an understated trail.
Nouvelle Vague doesn’t overwhelm; it invites. It’s the olfactory equivalent of a Godard heroine strolling the streets of Nice. She is cool, effortless, and utterly captivating, like Jean Serberg or Anna Karina. The green sharpness of the fig and watery coconut keep the fragrance fresh and modern, balancing the bright citrus and warmer woody base.
For those who love fragrances that feel like a Mediterranean escape, with a touch of cinematic nostalgia. It’s a fragrance for dreamers, sun-seekers, and anyone who finds beauty in the interplay of light and shadow, of sharpness and warmth.
It won’t break the bank either!
