Additional information

Born in Paris, HAROLD & MAUDE draws inspiration from a legend of love and perfume that began in the 1950s. Founded in 2023, this French family-run house creates exclusive, bold, and timeless fragrances. Each scent is conceived in Paris and bottled in France, using artisanal expertise and exceptional raw materials. Led by Christian Paindavoine, an expert in luxury perfumery, the team blends tradition and modernity. HAROLD & MAUDE embodies a free-spirited, creative perfumery deeply rooted in French elegance.

The most intense fragrance in the collection. And the freest.
Saffron, frankincense, oud, patchouli — deep, magnetic, captivating.

Résolument Affranchi is the signature fragrance of Harold & Maude — founded in Paris in 2023 by Christian Paindavoine, with creations signed by Nejla Barbir. Its title says it all: it is a fragrance that does not seek approval. A brief and luminous citrus opening — a few seconds, then the heart takes over.

Rose and jasmine carry the saffron — spicy, dry, with its characteristic slightly leathery facets — in a floral-spicy accord of immediate warmth and asserted presence. Frankincense settles in the heart with its lightest smoky and resinous facets, which give the composition its almost mystical dimension. And the base is anchored in the deepest materials — oud with slightly smoky facets, earthy and powerful Indian patchouli, vanilla that softens the whole just enough, musk that consistently prolongs the sillage.

Résolument Affranchi is the fragrance for those who need no permission to exist.

A word from Maison Diaphane

The most assertive and deepest oriental in the Harold & Maude collection — the saffron in the heart develops very distinctive slightly leathery facets, and the oud-Indian patchouli base is remarkably rich and long-lasting. Recommended for those who already know orientals and are looking for something bold and elegant.

Résolument Affranchi Eau de Parfum by Harold & Maude is a unisex oriental fragrance from the French house founded in Paris in 2023 by Christian Paindavoine, with compositions signed by Nejla Barbir. It combines citrus in the opening, rose, jasmine, saffron and frankincense in the heart, and oud, Indian patchouli, vanilla and musk in the base. Available at Maison Diaphane, official reseller in Angers. Free delivery from €100 (in France).

Its pyramid combines a brief and luminous citrus opening, a floral, spicy, and slightly smoky rose-jasmine-saffron-frankincense heart, and a deep, warm, and very long-lasting oud-Indian patchouli-vanilla-musk base. A unisex oriental with a prominent sillage, for autumn and winter, evenings.

Saffron develops leathery facets — what does that mean?

Saffron is a spice with very particular facets — at once warm, slightly medicinal, and with a unique dry and leathery dimension. In Résolument Affranchi, this natural leathery facet of saffron creates the impression of a leather accord without any actual leather notes being used. This is a very distinctive signature of great oriental saffron fragrances.

Is it a truly intense fragrance?

Yes — it is the most intense in the Harold & Maude collection. Its sillage is present, and its longevity is very good. This is not a discreet everyday fragrance: it is an evening fragrance, for significant occasions, for those who embrace an assertive presence.

For what occasion?

Exclusively for evenings — its intensity and oriental depth flourish during significant moments, under artificial light, in autumn and winter. Not an office fragrance.

For what season?

Autumn and winter — its spicy warmth and woody depth flourish in cold weather. In summer, its intensity would be difficult to wear daily.
