Cap Ferrat, Stockholm, Versailles, and Deauville — these are more than just destinations. For perfumers Kristof Lefebre and Victor Vanquathem of MIGLOT Parfums, they are places of personal connection and inspiration.
The new Brise d’été collection isn’t about slick marketing; it’s about real memories—those little moments of happiness that everyone can relate to. Each destination has inspired a unique fragrance, resulting in a collection aptly named ‘Brise d’été’: refreshing scents with an addictive summer breeze as their signature.
The Power of Scent and Memory
“The most beautiful memories can’t be captured in a photo, but perhaps they can be bottled,” says Kristof Lefebre, founder and creative force behind MIGLOT Parfums, when asked about the inspiration for their four new formulas. “On holiday, moments feel more poetic, more intense than when you recall them later. But a scent can transport you right back to that moment, even twenty years on. That’s what we want to achieve with our new collection.”
The Brise d’été collection is as concentrated as an eau de parfum, yet each scent carries a refreshing twist—perfect for warm summer days.
Cap Ferrat: Citrus Marine
“It felt as if the azure blue water, shimmering with golden light, wanted to whisper something to us. A refreshing sunset swim, followed by the evening chorus of crickets. We already dreamt of capturing this in a bottle…”
Notes:
- Bergamot, Lemon
- Ginger
- Ambergris, White Musk
Deauville: Citrus Floral
“Behind our holiday cottage, hidden among wild climbing roses, we found an old staircase—once grand, now lovingly embraced by nature. The roses have survived the test of time, and their scent is unforgettable…”
Notes:
- Bergamot, Pear
- Rose, Peony, Indian Geranium
- Cedarwood
Stockholm: Citrus Balsamic
“This afternoon, we sailed from Stockholm to Vaxholm. Sitting in a little pastry shop by the water, the scent of fresh-baked treats mingles with the crisp sea breeze. What a place. Soon, a refreshing swim before the last rays of sun disappear…”
Notes:
- Lemon, Mandarin
- Jasmine, Heliotrope
- White Musk, Vanilla
Versailles: Citrus Green
“What a wonderful day in the gardens of Versailles! The air grows cooler, while the scent of royal history lingers on. I wish you could smell it…”

An Invitation to Discover Hidden Gems
“On holiday, you dare to get lost, to truly live in the moment, and to marvel at the beauty of the everyday. I feel we don’t pause enough to appreciate what holidays really mean. In the past, we looked forward to travel stories and postcards from friends and family — experiences from places we hadn’t yet seen. Today, we’ve seen it all, sometimes even virtually through social media. The four Brise d’été fragrances are an invitation to discover these hidden gems for yourself.” – Kristof Lefebre, founder and creative force behind MIGLOT Parfums.
The Brise d’été collection is available as a 10 ml travel spray with leather case (€43.50) and as a 50 ml bottle (€84.50). Available from June exclusively at MIGLOT Maisons in Antwerp and Ghent, and via miglot.com.
