New Fragrances To Add To His And Her Perfume Wardrobe

7. Chloé Atelier des Fleurs Collection, S$175.00/50ml

The collection, already comprising twelve fragrances, makes way for three new scents created by some of the greatest names in perfumery. These inspired perfumers drew on their olfactory memories to compose unique aromatic interpretations of their favourite flowers.

Narcissus Poeticus: As far as Philippine CourtieÌre can remember, the narcissus is the first flower that she fell in love with. The love story dates back to her childhood, when she would stroll along the paths of the Jardin du Luxembourg with her grandmother and gather little bouquets of the delicately, honey-scented flower.

Iris: This unique plant is a sun-worshiper that dots the mountain slopes and highlands with its blue-violet hue. Once the plant is gathered, its roots are dried for several months in large jute bags, releasing soft, captivating emanations. Its memorable scent left such an impression on the perfumer that he wished to interpret it with an incomparable perfume.

Ylang Cananga: Serge de Oliveira remembers the scent particularly well. In a cheerful family atmosphere, flower gatherers pluck flowers by hand, one by one. They move so precisely, lithely and rhythmically that they almost appear to be dancing. Each one drops Ylang-ylang flowers into their basket, unleashing the incomparable fragrance that inspired the perfumer to create this sensuous, smooth, sunny fragrance.
