Camellia
Luminous citrus and bittersweet ylang-ylang lead to lush florals and mellow amber woods.
Camellia
*Camellia* is a fragrance by MUCHA that reinterprets the naturally scentless blossom as a rich, ambery floral inspired by Alphonse Mucha's iconic theatrical posters for *La Dame aux Camélias*.
About This Fragrance
The composition takes its central inspiration from Mucha's celebrated theatrical poster created for the legendary French actress Sarah Bernhardt in *La Dame aux Camélias*. While natural camellias possess no inherent fragrance, MUCHA imagines the flower's olfactory persona through Alexandre Dumas's tragic romance. The scent mirrors the heroine's visual depiction on the balcony beneath silver stars, capturing her graceful aristocratic composure.
Scent Profile
The perfume opens with a luminous flash of bergamot and sparkling mandarin orange, artfully tempered by the bittersweet floral richness of ylang-ylang. This bright citrus introduction soon deepens into an opulent floral heart where jasmine merges with powdery iris and dry aromatic lavender. In the drydown, the composition settles into a mellow amber-wood foundation crafted from tonka bean, smooth sandalwood, and clean skin musk. These warm base materials harmonize to produce an enveloping resinous depth.
Who It's For & When to Wear It
This sensual floral-woody blend is particularly suited for admirers of vintage-tinted perfumery, cultural gatherings, and romantic evening occasions that call for an aura of poised dramatic elegance.
