Dave

Dave was released in 2025 by Henry Rose, a house founded by Michelle Pfeiffer. Its name pays tribute to David, the founder's husband, and Pascal Gaurin wrote its formula as an Eau de Parfum. It comes in a 5 ml size.

The house claims a precise inspiration: building the composition around vanilla, the note David prefers. The chosen name and the material placed at the base of the accord thus point to the same person.

Top: citrus and pepper

Tangerine opens on a soft, lively citrus. Neroli, drawn from orange blossom, brings a floral facet whose acidity recalls bergamot. Pepper adds a dry spice, with herbaceous accents, lending definition to this fruity opening.

Heart: lavandin and almond tree

Lavandin, a cultivated hybrid of lavender, brings freshness and floral nuance. Almond blossom reads as a soft, powdery floral with a milky sweetness. Orange also appears at this tier, with a fruit that is sweet, fresh, and tart all at once.

Base: vanilla, cocoa, tonka

Vanilla combines sugar, spice, and warmth. Cocoa evokes chocolate, with a bitterness and a balsamic roundness. Tonka bean, a material rich in coumarin, brings toasted nuances, hints of almond, and a touch of caramel.

A gourmand family

Gourmands draw on the vocabulary of confectionery and pastry. Vanilla, cocoa, and tonka bean carry this family here, with their notes of sugar, chocolate, and caramel; almond blossom, powdery and milky, extends this idea from the heart tier onward.
