Perfume : Midsummer Night's Dream (fig leaf). The apothecary wrote in his travel journal in the Mediterranean basin: "During a walk in the Mediterranean in the evening when the smells are strongest with the residual heat of a hot and sunny day, lying under the fig trees, I abandoned myself to the lyrical delights specific to the work of Shakespeare. In the air floated this perfume of fig and cistus that I tried to capture in my vegetable wax. What emerged was an aromatic perfume of a midsummer night."
Perfume : Candlelit Dinner (Tuberose). The apothecary wrote in his travel journal in the Mediterranean in Grasse about the tuberose: "The tuberose flowers are enchanting and their scent is intoxicating even two days after they were picked. I strip the flowers to capture them and thanks to my brandy I extract a divine absolute so powerful that a few drops are enough to perfume my vegetable waxes and fill my laboratory with this heady scent... I plan to use it in my floral perfume soliflores and also in my preparations and ointments... and send some to Madame de la Vallière if Louis XIV does not object."
Perfume : Charlotte's Dreams (orange blossom). The apothecary wrote in his travel journal in Morocco: "With my daughter Charlotte during a lunch on the grass, asleep under these citrus trees, I was inspired by her state of deep sleep where she dreamed, to make her a perfume with relaxing fragrances, which later would become her dream... in a soothing natural wax candle..."
Perfume : Family Christmas (cinnamon and orange). The apothecary wrote in his travel journal in Sri Lanka about cinnamon and orange: "I brought back from Sri Lanka these brown orange peels. From them came these fragrances that recalled my childhood with Christmas oranges and cinnamon cakes, disguised near our fireplace. These notes, I preserved them in my vegetable wax to make a candle that I light to recall my Christmases with my family as an apothecary perfumer in order to share this moment."
Perfume : Evening at the castle (patchouli, amber, musk, cedar, pine). The apothecary wrote in his travel journal: "It was during a visit to one of the castles of Normandy, once frequented by Louis-Nicolas Vauquelin, pharmacist and source of inspiration, that I had the pleasure of being invited to one of the sumptuous dinners organized by the owner of the place. As soon as I passed through the gates of the property, I fell under the spell of this interminable avenue of century-old trees, opening onto a French garden worthy of the most sumptuous creations of Versailles and an 18th century castle. Seduced by the divine blend of luxurious fragrances carried by the flora but also by the delicate silhouettes of the bourgeoisie, I tried to transcribe the opulence and lightness that had captivated my senses and that I decided to seal forever in my natural wax... »
Perfume : Sunday Mass (musk). The apothecary wrote in his travel journal about musk: "I brought back from my travels in Tonkin, this small gland called bladder musk. Its fragrance reminds me of the churches with frames made of wood and stone where I meditated every week where after the service floated a smell of musk and incense impregnated in the hangings. I wanted to recreate this atmosphere with an oily aromatic perfume captured in my natural wax which releases its aromas throughout its ignition..."
Perfume : Mademoiselle Wang (cedar and licorice). The apothecary wrote in his travel journal in China: "It was during my visit to my friend and colleague Professor Wang, in the province of Canton, that I was struck by the idea of creating a fragrance inspired by the scent of licorice escaping from the perfume that his daughter and assistant wore. The aroma extracted from the roots of this leguminous plant was used by the Professor in his traditional preparations as a remedy for coughs and colds. I combined this black vegetal gold with a note of cedar, a noble resinous tree with a warm woody scent, in order to immortalize this journey so rich in medicinal and olfactory discoveries."
