Biotherm
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Bergamot and galbanum collide in a crisp, green-tinged burst—think crushed hyacinth petals mixed with citrus pith. The herbaceous galbanum immediately signals freshness without fruitiness, establishing an almost ozonic quality that feels simultaneously natural and composed.
The green topnotes gradually recede as orange blossom and jasmine sambac emerge with quiet insistence, creating a soft, slightly creamy floral envelope. Rose acts as a stabilising force, preventing the composition from becoming diffuse or powdery, whilst the woody notes begin their subtle ascent in the background.
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and that distinctive trungle note create a refined woody-amber foundation where musk softens rather than dominates. The fragrance becomes almost skin-scent intimate—creamy, subtly peppery, with lingering traces of florality that fade gracefully rather than cling.
Vanessa Bruno's L'Eau is a fragrance caught between whispered confession and crisp declaration—a paradox that makes it genuinely compelling. The galbanum-bergamot opening bristles with green electricity, immediately establishing a fresh, almost herbal temperament that prevents this composition from sliding into the saccharine. What's remarkable is how Carlos Benaïm orchestrates the floral heart without allowing it to overwhelm; the jasmine sambac and orange blossom sit in a carefully calibrated arrangement where neither dominates, creating instead a soft, diffuse florality that feels gathered rather than pronounced. Rose threads through as a binding agent, lending structure without demanding attention.
This is fundamentally a fresh floral with botanical credentials—the green accord (76%) keeps everything tethered to the earth rather than allowing it to float into pure indulgence. The woody base emerges gradually, a sandalwood-cedarwood framework that lends surprising depth for what is ostensibly a light composition. Trungle, that peculiar woody-amber ingredient, adds an almost peppery undertone that prevents the musk from becoming anonymous.
