Aubade
by Navitus Parfums
Aubade (formerly Lyrik) is a crisp, aromatic gourmand with a bright citrus opening of bergamot and Sicilian lemon, balanced by cardamom and pepper. As it evolves, it reveals a sensual, warm almond and toffee core infused with jasmine and caraway, leading to a dry down of Ceylon cinnamon, musk, and olibanum. The fragrance strikes a delicate balance between freshness and sweetness—never overly sugary, but clearly gourmand in character. It delivers long-lasting performance, projecting strongly and lasting well past 12 hours on skin. The scent is remarkably versatile: it fits seamlessly into both daytime and nightfall wear, suits summer and winter alike, and wears with confidence without being overpowering. Many note its ability to draw compliments, its smooth transitions, and overall refinement.
