Lysandra
Mandarin and jasmine grandiflorum float above vetiver and labdanum in a powdery floral inspired by a butterfly in morning light.
Perfumer: Jérôme di Marino
Lysandra imagines a butterfly moving through a clearing as morning light reaches the flowers. The fine powder falling from its wings becomes a way of describing the fragrance's soft floral character. Introduced in 2019, this eau de parfum was composed by Jérôme di Marino within the Singulières collection, developed under Jean-Claude Ellena's creative direction.
Bright mandarin opens the composition before jasmine-grandiflorum absolute brings a richer floral presence. Vetiver gives the base a woody, root-like texture, while labdanum adds the warmth of resin. The delicate butterfly theme therefore holds more than an impression of lightness: a substantial white flower meets a quieter, grounded base.
It is a fragrance to consider with softer colours, or when you want the brightness of citrus followed by a fuller flower rather than citrus alone. The 100mL presentation is a clear rectangular glass bottle, revealing pale liquid under a broad black cap. A botanical drawing is framed in the centre, with Lysandra printed towards the lower edge of the front.
