Brocéliande

Brocéliande unfolds as a rich, boozy citrus-sweet accord with a pronounced caramel and rum foundation, mingling lime, bergamot, and ginger for a lively, zesty opening that some find persistent and unchanging. The fragrance leans heavily into its sweet, candied side—evoking lemon cake, vanilla, and cinnamon—while notably integrating animalic elements from castoreum and civet. These notes, though divisive, contribute depth and character, particularly in the dry down, where they settle into a powdery, slightly rubbery accord reminiscent of new tires or an intimate leather-suede nuance. The scent projects strongly and lasts for hours, making it best suited for daytime or evening wear, especially in spring and summer. Some users find it overwhelmingly sweet or animalic, while others praise its complexity and uniqueness, likening it to cocktails, incense, or even a warm, plush bear. Some users report that the scent remains citrus-heavy throughout, never fully developing the deeper caramelized, boozy richness others experience, which suggests a differential perception across skin types. Despite its elegant blend and notable longevity, many feel the price is excessive, though a few still call it a standout among Sora Dora's releases.
