maison d'etto / eau de parfum - noisette

A sophisticated, reticent and textured fougère that lingers on the skin. Pulses of French lavender and orris awaken the mind and body. A delicate wrapping of ambrette seed, musk and amber leaves a calming warmth and gentle embrace brings serenity to the soul. Noisette is a reflection of individuality and peaceful inquisition. A contrast of instincts, it appears soft but unwavering, subtle but strong, quiet but confident while brewing close to the skin in a place held only for those we allow into our precious human spirit.

PERFUMER: Pascal Gaurin

“Anything that expresses extreme contrast – that’s what inspires me most.”

At 19 years old, Pascal Gaurin radically changed course to follow his dream. Early on, his fascination with craftsmanship was a way to connect with his great grandfather, a sculptor of bronze, and also gave him the certitude that one day he would work with luxury products. While preparing to enter business school, HEC in Paris, Pascal picked up an issue of Vogue and read an article on the perfume industry and decided that his single obsession would be to create perfume. Pascal began working as a perfumer in Hong Kong. Eventually, he made New York his home. Pascal is most inspired by dense essences, like resins and deep woods. His taste for darkness originates from his grandparents’ home in Creuse, France, where the forests are very dark and it always feels like nighttime. “You can feel the vapors of mushrooms, leaves and bark.” he says, and it only takes the smell of a bale of hay, an uncultivated field or a stable to bring a smile to his lips. “I love frontal materials, those you need to tame like a sculptor does stone.”

MODERN LUXURY SCENTS TO INSPIRE CONNECTION

What does ETTO mean?

The word ETTO is born from Ethics and Motto — a quiet echo of the beliefs we carry with us, constant and unshakable, no matter where we stand in life. It also gestures toward the phrase Each To Their Own — a reverence for individuality, self-expression, and the freedom to feel deeply and define beauty on one’s own terms.

At Maison d’Etto, they don’t impose meaning. They offer a sensorial framework — a series of olfactive portraits — through which you are invited to explore your own truths.

Fragrance becomes a form of inner dialogue, a return to self, and a space for memory, movement, and discovery.

Brianna Lipovsky is the Founder of Maison d’Etto. A personal desire to have a business of her own as well as a creative outlet led to Maison d’Etto. Its development began with two of Brianna’s greatest passions: horses and scent. Brianna was intrigued by both as a young girl. Her first scent memory was riding a lawn mower with her father — the intoxicating scent of freshly cut grass, mixed with gasoline and the sharp metallic notes of the blades. Her further olfactive exposure took on a life of its own at the age of five when she rode her first horse and her life was irrevocably changed. From that point forward, her days were spent at the stables, caring for, cleaning, training and competing horses. With olfactive territories being developed in the first decade of life it’s no surprise that horses and nature serve as the pillars of inspiration for Maison d’Etto. Brianna began Maison d'Etto as a way of merging these two loves. The power of scent as a means of memory — of storytelling — has remained a constant source of curiosity and meaning throughout her life. When Brianna is not balancing family-life, launching her own brand, or running her own consulting agency, she can be found on a horse climbing her way up to the Grand Prix Level of Dressage – a discipline she describes as living, breathing art.
