Description
The house of Parfums Volnay Paris has rich history and takes us for a journey in time, while offering a persuasive balance between tradition of the brand and its contemporary image. This house was founded in 1919 in the golden age of perfumery. Founder of the house is Germaine Madeline Duval, who started the fragrant journey in the 1920es.
After many years, it was revived with five new creations founded on old formulas of perfumes Yapana from 1922, Brume d’Hiver from 1922, Objet Celeste from 1925, Etoile d’Or from 1925 and Perlerette from 1925. Perfumer Amelie Bourgeois worked on appropriate reformulations, and she managed to maintain refinedness, elegance and sophistication of old formulas, presenting them in contemporary and very feminine way.
All perfumes of the house of VOLNAY are unique for their olfactive connection, since they contain the same notes in their ingredients: powder, vanilla, rose and cloves, which build up to other ingredients in five different ways. These ingredients are square one and signature of all creations of the house – we find them in all compositions, listed as base 4092.
The flacons are inspired by round, herbal form in Art Deco style, with decorations made of blackberry leaves and branches. As symbol of the brand, blackberry branches and leaves suggest energy and liveliness, but also wild nature. Five new fragrances by PARFUMS VOLNAY PARIS were presented exclusively at FRAGRANZE 11 in Florence 2013.
Top notes are bergamot, elemi and juniper berries; middle notes are jasmine, bulgarian rose and rose; base notes are agarwood (oud), incense, violet, heliotrope, musk, haitian vetiver, spanish labdanum, vanilla, rose, powdery notes and clove.

Indeed like a winter mist, Brume d’Hiver is a cool veil of enchantment that envelops your being ever so gently. With a bright opening, the composition quickly transforms into a soft heliotrope/almond scent with smooth, cool floral accords that trail with a humming static prickle from delicate cloves and elemi.
The delicate sweet muskiness of labdanum, musk, incense, violet and vanilla is angelic, pink and rosey.
Feminine, clean and charming, Brume d’Hiver is a poetically etheric offering from Volnay.

I was expecting something different.a sweet powdery oudy rose but honestly there’s no rose on my skin at least during first twenty minutes
I can smell tones of powder.as if I’ve buried my nose in a jar of face powder.this chalky powder is what I get mostly during first phase.not a bad smell but I hate to feel like as if I’ve sprayed powdered chalk on me,so I marked dislike.I agree it’s totally unisex,there’s also vetiver,something woody that makes this even dryer but I can’t detect oud or incense which is a relief
After first twenty minutes I can see a pretty floral note shining through dusty scent and coming forward from far far away.as it comes nearer I can see it’s a delicate rose blended with musk and soft heliotrope.musky florals are soft and very gorgeous.they give the scent another dimension which makes me to change my opinion to like while I’m thinking perhaps the other time I try it,I would tick love
After giving these new notes to arrive and settle down,it’s all about a superpretty musky rose and a hint of powder and a touch of vetiver.I see this beautiful,soft and delicately powdery scent as a feminine scent
It’s the first time I’m trying brume d’hiver and it seems to have lots of layers so I’ll edit if I could detect further changes
For now it’s something between ❤❤ and ❤❤❤
شروع عطر به شدت پودری هست جوری که حس میکنم کلی گچ تخته سیاه پودر کردم و دارم بو می کنم.بوی بدی نداره اما بعنوان عطر اصلا بنظرم جالب نیومد.به جز کلی پودر گچ مانند،یه چیز چوبی هم حس میشه که خشکی عطر رو بیشتر میکنه
بیست دقیقه همین روال برقراری تا اینکه یه نت فلورال زیبا از دور دورا و از پشت اون همه گرد و غبار سوسو میزنه.بعد از چند دقیقه یه رز خیلی ظریف و زیبا حس میشه آغشته به مشک تمیز و لطیف.این رزمشکی هرچند خیلی ملایم هست فضای عطر رو عوض میکنه. چیزی که بعد از یک ساعت رو پوست قابل استشمامه همین رز ملایم و لطیف مشکی هست که توسط کلی پودر پن کک مانند و کمی وتیور احاطه شده. این مرحله از عطر برخلاف شروع که فاقد جنسیت بود عملا زنونه ست
البته این اولین تستر هست وبتدریج هر تغییراتی متوجه شدم ادیت میکنم.اینبار که هیچ عود یا اینسنسی متوجه نشدم. درآی داون زیبا و تمیز و بسیار پودری داره اما خیلی ضعیف هست و فقط وقتی از نزدیک بادقت بو میکنم میتونم متوجه جزییات عطر بشم

Smell like make up, wax cream for hands and pink baby lotion.
Very french style talc.
Nice but nothing special.
So soft that probably one of the mentioned may have more sillage on you.

Fábio Condé said it perfectly – this is a beautiful unisex scent. It lingers perfectly, not masculine nor feminine. My family does not usually comment on my fragrances, as I wear so many and constantly am wearing something new but I was complimented tonight by the shyest person in the house!

Beautiful unisex scent!
Brune d’Hiver opens with a aromatic chord by bergamot and in seconds appears a beautiful rose in what is already the dominant note and enters giving the fruity floral delicate touch also a lemony kind of vibe that is its characteristic
Last minutes presents a trio and is in harmony with a hint of oud, the powdery violet and lightly creamed by heliotrope, no one stands out and balance it with the rose that is the focus here.
Rating: 8,5/10

Heavy agarwood and rose combination..luckely the heliothrope softens it a bit.
