Perfumer: Sidonie Lancesseur
The Materie Premiere collection.
A soft, bitter-sweet tonka and cooling lavender blend. Marie Jeanne’s beautiful vision of a 21st century fougere.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of someone who likes their presence composed and unforced: a close, well-groomed aromatic aura that reads as intelligent rather than loud. It works best in intimate settings where its lavender, herbs and tonka can stay near the skin and reveal their dry, comforting warmth.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, when its aromatic top notes stay crisp and the tonka can unfold without becoming too sweet. Apply lightly to the chest or neck for a close, persistent trail; with moderate sillage and strong longevity, a few sprays are enough.
Who it’s for
For wearers who enjoy aromatic fougères, understated woods and a restrained gourmand twist. It suits those who like classic structure, clean herbal lavender and a dry, almond-tonka softness rather than heavy sweetness or overt freshness.

The nose
Sidonie Lancesseur is a French perfumer associated with Robertet, known for compositions that balance clarity, texture and a natural, tactile sense of materials. Her work often moves between airy aromatics, woods and restrained gourmand facets, with an elegant, contemporary finish. For Tonka Lavande, she shapes a 21st-century fougère around lavender, sage and tonka, keeping the structure lucid rather than heavy. The result is a fragrance that feels polished and familiar, but updated with a softer, more nuanced sweetness.
Marie Jeanne’s story
Marie Jeanne is a Grasse-born house built around natural raw materials, traceable sourcing and small-scale production. Its perfumes are composed with a minimalist eye, often highlighting one central material in dialogue with another, so the formula feels direct, material-led and quietly distinctive.
Tonka Lavande’s concept
Tonka Lavande belongs to Marie Jeanne’s Matières Premières line and was introduced in 2020 as a modern take on the fougère genre. The concept pairs cooling lavender with bittersweet tonka, aiming for a clean, aromatic structure that feels familiar in outline but updated in tone and softness.
Extra info
Tonka Lavande is part of Marie Jeanne’s Matières Premières collection, which focuses on a key ingredient paired with another material. It is still in production and is often noted for its understated sillage and long wear.
