for her
An ode to the Normandy countryside. Linden blossoms, fresh apple, sweet almond, radiant jasmine. Soft musk and suede. A golden sap of dried hay and ripe wheat evokes the pastures. And outside the farmhouse, sun-dried linens flutter on the line. All is well.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The mood is a quiet homecoming: sleeves rolled up at a farmhouse kitchen table, an apple freshly cut, the garden just beyond the open door. Clean linen and linden lend an unhurried brightness; hay and suede make the presence feel familiar and close rather than formally dressed.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring weather or early autumn, when the floral and linen facets can sit alongside the warmer grain and hay. Start with one or two sprays on skin for a restrained presence; in hotter weather, use a lighter application to keep the honeyed softness from feeling too dense.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy powdery florals and laundry accords but want more texture than a purely soapy scent. Its almond, honey and muesli facets offer gentle sweetness, while hay and suede should appeal to tastes that favor pastoral, softly animalic compositions over overt gourmand richness.

The nose
Marie Schnirer, the perfumer behind the independent Paris studio MS Lab Parfums, created Chère Colette. Working with founder Camille Hauguel’s recollections, she translated a Normandy childhood into a composition that brings luminous flowers and clean laundry together with grain, hay and soft leather.
Collaborators
Founder Camille Hauguel shaped the creative brief through memories of her grandmother, the garden, flowering linden trees, hay and nearby animals. She shared sensations, colors and small personal details with Marie Schnirer, guiding the fragrance toward the emotional residue of a memory rather than a literal reconstruction.
Milleseve’s story
Millesève treats perfume as a way to bring a remembered place back into presence. Its idea of sève, or sap, encompasses the light, materials and traces of time that give a landscape life. Rooted in Normandy and developed in Paris, the house emphasizes French craftsmanship, considered materials and time for creation, with fragrances intended to be worn beyond gender categories.
Chère Colette (Dear Colette)’s concept
Chère Colette was conceived as an olfactory letter to the Normandy countryside, drawing on Camille Hauguel’s childhood memories and her grandmother. Flowering linden, bitten apple and sun-warmed laundry evoke the garden and farmhouse, while hay and saddle-like leather recall the surrounding animals and pastures. The aim was to recover how those memories felt, not simply how the place smelled.
Extra info
Chère Colette translates as Dear Colette, fitting its conception as an olfactory letter. Its official pyramid includes the unusual combination of muesli, linen/flax and horse saddle. The fragrance uses organic wheat alcohol, though this does not imply that the entire perfume is certified organic.
