A vintage rose; tender and exquisitely romantic

This is a memory rose, tender and exquisitely romantic. It is evocative of a child sitting smiling on a bed, softly chewing candy, watching mother getting ready to go out for the evening. There is powder, make-up and lipstick, violet-tinted glamour. The scent of powdered roses fills the room. She is ready. She bends down and kisses a cheek. The scent remains hanging in the air as she leaves. Drôle de Rose is vintage glamour seen through a resolutely modern eye, a memory of childhood roses heartbreakingly interpreted by L'Artisan Parfumeur.

A haunting still life of violet leaves, flowers and stems

Created by Anne Flipo for L'Artisan Parfumeur, Verte Violette is a lush and detailed still life of violet leaves, flowers and stems. A union of the green note of the leaves with the powdered note of the violet flower. There is a little darkness too, a touch of the forest floor, shadows and flickering sunlight amid the sweetness. Iris notes deepens the delicacy and iridescence of the powder as Verte Violette lies softly on the skin, making this haunting take on violet so beautiful to wear.

An extraordinary union of enchanted woods and baking bread

Bois Farine was created by renowned perfumer, Jean-Claude Ellena. This compulsive fragrance is the product of his encounter with a unique tree in the Reunion Islands in the Indian Ocean, a rare and now protected species, reputed to have magical powers. This tree is specific to the Reunion Islands and its red flower smells like baking flour. Ellena was struck by how similar the smell was to the scent of his grandmother’s hands as she baked bread in the kitchen. Bois Farine is the result: an extraordinary union between enchanted wood and the comforting aromas of baking ingredients. As odd as it sounds, Bois Farine is beautifully constructed on a base of precious woods and iris that gives it depth, powder, comfort and addictive wearability.
