Le Parfum Essentiel
Gardenia takes a clearer place beside orange blossom and patchouli in a return to the collection’s essentials.
Perfumer: Maïa Lernout
Le Parfum Essentiel returns to the collection’s orange blossom and patchouli signature. Created by Maïa Lernout in 2020, it places white flowers at the centre, framed by brighter citrus and quieter woods. Its floral chypre character makes room for the simpler relationship between luminosity, rounded flowers and a more grounded finish.
Mandarin brings a gentler citrus brightness around orange blossom. Gardenia adds a fuller petal texture at the heart. Cedar and patchouli support the flowers with a drier, more settled woody outline. The progression from fruit to flowers and woods gives each element room while keeping the overall composition coherent.
The selected 90mL clear faceted bottle carries delicate gold decoration. Its brighter citrus and rounded white flowers suit everyday clothing chosen with care, or an outing where a gentler floral presence is welcome.
