LAVANDE ROMAINE EDP 50-100 ml
“Crossing Haute Provence is a mystical journey. Like crossing a rocky desert where trees are rare, if it weren’t for the lavender. The tall bushes are shaken by blasts of the mistral. While the evenings are no longer lit by fires beneath the alembics, as described by Jean Giono, the clean, pure scent is the soul of this land.” [travel notes]
MIMOSA TANNERON EDP 50-100 ml
“In Tanneron, where the harsh mistral blows, a sea of yellow fills the eyes. And, as Albert Camus wrote to Maria Casarès, ‘the slopes crumble beneath the mimosa trees’. So redolent of springtime rebirth, their perfume instils calm and a strange sense of omnipotence. All roads are open…” [travel notes]
JASMIN DE PAYS EDP 50-100 ml
“In Grasse, from dawn to nightfall, the scent of jasmine writes its own story: first tender and green, then warm like orange blossom, and, finally, deep, almost animal-like, as it wilts. Guided by Jean-Claude, we follow its tracks, walking narrow trails where the generous plants offer themselves up to summer. By the end of the day, only one idea remains. Jasmine is forever.” [travel notes]
MANDARINO DI SICILIA EDP 50-100 ml
“Small mandarins shine amid dense green leaves. In the distance stands Etna, its cone white with snow. It is as if the landscape has never changed. But the history of the Mandarin is one of fortuitous migration. One which might have inspired Italian artist Franco Battiato to write a song set between East and West: a Chinese nobleman arrived in Sicily in the early 1800s, settling on the island…” [travel notes]
CEDRO DI DIAMANTE EDP 100 ml
“Our journey to the origin of Mediterranean perfumes takes us back to where everything began. To Magna Graecia and its art, philosophy, techniques…. And perfumes. Diamante, a small town with a great past. The Citrus Medica or Diamante Citron grows only here, the result of a mutation. One of the many miracles that have occurred in this stretch of the Calabrian coast caressed by Tyrrhenian breezes.” [travel notes]
VETIVER JAVA EDP 50-100 ml
“Two things strike us as we walk through the green tea plantations of ancient Java: the cone of the Kawa Ijen volcano and the vetiver bushes. Their long roots reinforce the pathways: they are the reason we came here, for the earthy, almost ashy note that makes this vetiver a unique olfactory experience”. [travel notes]
VANILLE DE TAHITI EDP 50-100 ml
“When Paul Gauguin fled France in search of an earthly paradise in French Polynesia, alongside the dazzling local colours he must have come across this orchid-like plant and its long seed pods. Dark, sticky, delicately perfumed…” [travel notes]
CACAO AZTEQUE EDP 50-100 ml
“While at the Aztec pyramids of Teotihuacan, we had a dream. We dreamed of a perfume that never existed. Xocolatl. The drink of the gods. On our return we began to experiment. The finest cocoa beans, pepper, cardamom and tuberose … The colours of the earth and sky… A fragrance resurrected from the past…” [travel notes]
SANTAL DU PACIFIOUE EDP 50-100 ml
“There are no specific place names to indicate its origins. Only coordinates for mariners, parallels and meridians that intersect in the blue Pacific where Asia meets Oceania. Here we found the tree we were looking for, the original. The wood of the Sandalwood tree has the power to reawaken the mind”. [travel notes]
YLANG YLANG NOSY BE EDP 100 ml
“‘Perpetually-perfumed’, ‘eternally-surrounded-by-sweetness’. As soon as we set foot on land, we invent names to describe Nosy Be. We arrive by plane, not by sail boat. But the deliciously sweet perfume must be the same that sailors could smell from miles away: the Ylang Ylang tree flowers all year round”. [travel notes]
PATCHOULI NOSY BE EDP 50-100 ml
“A handful of pearls thrown into the ocean: the description of the archipelago to which Nosy Be belongs might have been written by Conrad, the great writer on maritime themes. The sea has brought different peoples here, blending languages, colourful costumes and customs. Even patchouli is a new arrival. The island welcomed and enriched it with a myriad of other perfumes”.
ROSE DE TAIF EDP 50-100 ml
“Two thousand metres above sea level, in the south-west of the Arabian Peninsula. Arriving in Taif in April is like a mirage: a huge basket of roses suspended over the desert. Its dry hillsides provide the perfect habitat for the Damask ‘Trigintipetala’ Rose: treasure of the uplands, essence of a culture that understands and cultivates the poetry of fragrance”.
