Fleur De Monet

This fragrance is drawn from Claude Monet's Giverny garden, and the brief aims to carry the richness of colour and movement found in his Impressionist paintings. The source image of a spring day filled with fresh orange blossom air sits clearly behind the composition before the first note arrives.

Orange flower stands alone at the top, releasing both the sweetness and the green sharpness of the petal in a single breath. Through the heart, ylang, jasmine, rose and magnolia layer into one another the way a spring border grows thick, with orange flower and ylang holding the brightest line as the central pair.

Beneath that bloom, amber warms the outline, musk settles the florals against the skin, and vetiver draws a cool, earthy shadow underneath. The flowers paint full sunlight, while the base keeps the ground and the shade of the garden visible, so the picture reads with depth rather than only brightness.
