MAISON MATINE Esprit de
19000440805

ESPRIT DE CONTRADICTION is a fragrance for those who dare to go against the grain. Bold and bright, it captures a spirit of defiance — a desire to stand out and challenge the ordinary.

It opens with a zesty burst of mandarin and lemon, spiced up by black pepper and the subtle bitterness of coriander. At its heart lies a captivating blend of ginger, ylang-ylang, iris root, and clove — a spicy floral accord that adds both depth and a delicate balance of energy and softness. The base unfolds with warm notes of musk, vetiver, sage, and cedarwood, leaving a confident, comforting, and subtly woody trail that lingers long after.

ESPRIT DE CONTRADICTION is more than just a fragrance. It's a voice that says: No more compromises. Designed for both women and men, this contemporary scent celebrates individuality and a fresh perspective on the world.

Staying true to its commitment to sustainability, Maison Matine uses vegan ingredients, organic wheat alcohol, recyclable packaging, and eco-friendly materials. Every fragrance is crafted entirely in France — from concept to bottle. Maison Matine is perfumery that breaks boundaries and inspires you to be unapologetically yourself.
