Gardénia Grand Soir (91€) is described as being both nocturnal and summery. It is about "the white sigh of the gardenia supported by a vibration of sandalwood."
"Nocturne estival, le soupir blanc d'un Gardenia appuyé d'une vibration de santal."
Bois Naufragé (88€) was inspired by a photography by Lucien Clergue entitled "Le nu au bois flotté."(The nude on a flotsam). It rests on a note of caroubier also called Egyptian fig tree which was treated stylistically as flotsam, with additional notes of fleur de sel and gray amber.
Each perfume is available in a 50 ml size.
