French Flower takes its inspiration from a tale from Provence, where Aurélien was born, that young people who were not married yet were forbidden to walk the tuberose fields at night, because the smell is so sensual and intoxicating. Aurélien wanted to recreate that smell.
Aurélien combined two different extractions of tuberose: an absolute and an enfleurage – extracted from tuberoses organically grown by Matiere Premiere.
The absolute expresses the richness, the power and opulence of tuberose. Enfleurage is a traditional and organic technique of extraction that captures the scent of the flowers in a vegetal wax. It highlights the warm, sensual aspect of tuberose, close to the smell of skin. Ginger Oil Nigeria amplifies the whiteness of the flower. Green Tea Leaf Oil China and a Green Pear accord underline the vegetal character of this stemmed flower.
