Musicology – Perfume-melodies orchestrated by Nathalie Lorson

Musicology: haute parfumerie inspired by music

A French house born of a melodic passion

Musicology is a French house that draws all its inspiration from music – French chanson, jazz, soul and pop. Each creation bears the title of a cult song (Cause I'm Happy, Close To Midnight, Fly Me To The Oud), in a narrative approach that turns a track into a scent. Playful auteur perfumery that appeals to lovers of accessible olfactory storytelling and pop culture.

The iconic scents of the French house

The Musicology pantheon includes Fly Me To The Oud, Cause I'm Happy, White Is Wight, I Belong To U and Close To Midnight, each an emblematic signature of the house.

Perfumery you can sing

Musicology cultivates a unique position: turning a song into a perfume, selecting accords that evoke the atmosphere, the lyrics and the era of each track. The creations are accessible, legible and joyful, true to the house's pop spirit. Perfumery that doesn't take itself too seriously, yet delivers seriously well-composed scents.

Who should wear Musicology, and when?

Musicology is made for lovers of playful, accessible perfumery seeking contemporary, personal scents. The house is unisex. Depending on the creation, floral, musky, oriental and gourmand families are all represented. If you enjoy Musicology, you will also love exploring Akro, Giardini di Toscana and Versatile, three other accessible signatures at Soleil d'Or.
