Jijide Grano EDP
Description
Grano is Paris caught between rain and radiance — wet pavement, golden light and the muffled sweetness of a boulangerie carried on damp air. Created by French-Lebanese perfumer Nour Akoum for Jijide’s Dialogue Collection and launched in 2023, it opens green and mineral with grass, mint, lemon and bergamot, then warms into cookie dough, a soil tincture and white flowers, before settling on the quiet, just-baked warmth of bread and sandalwood. As the counterpart to Riso’s Shanghai streets, Grano translates the sensory memory of a Parisian morning after the storm into scent.

FAQ
Does it smell like bread?
Yes, in the drydown. The opening is green and herbaceous, and the bread note emerges as the fragrance settles — warm, yeasty and soft, like walking past a bakery rather than standing inside one.
What is the Dialogue Collection?
A series of paired fragrances by Jijide where each perfumer works in conversation with another. Grano is paired with Riso: Grano captures a Paris morning, Riso captures Shanghai’s street-food scene.
Is it unisex?
Yes. The composition is designed for men and women.
