Plumediris

The peperry and citrusy opening of this woody chypre fragrance is the spark that ignites the fire. A juicy orange note appears and then vanishes behind curls of smoke. The floral aromatic heart is green and bitter at first, then it gets balmy and spicy. This fragrance is catching fire now and oak wood keeps it going. The salty-sweet warmth of Feu Patchouli is unusual and fascinating.

La Collection Merveilleuse welcomes a new Precious Floral, Rose Croquante. This fresh and delicate beauty blooms in a sparkling crystal greenhouse. The sun shines through the clear glass and enhances the natural glow of flowers, fruits and veggies. Citrus blossoms fill the air with an exhilarating smell, water springs up from basins reflecting roses and jasmine flowers. Emerald green cucumbers make a surprise appearance in this lush garden. The tendrils of their vines climb up elegant wooden structures, the garden looks even more spectacular from above !
Rose Croquante is a charming crisp floral. A musky rose flirts with a fresh cucumber in an oasis of peace and harmony. Is it just a crush ? I don’t think so ! This joyful love story is meant to last.

This is the story of a mysterious and frightening monster. Sailors claim they saw it rise from the depths of the sea… it sank their ship ! They are determined to go on an expedition to find the creature ! Beware of Megamare : it is not a light and carefree aquatic fragrance. The waves smash onto the reefs with greatest force. This salty and mineral accord is chased by a groundswell of woody and spicy notes : you’ll be expecting the powerful base to submerge the top notes, but they somehow struggle to stay afloat. Megamare is a polarising fragrance, it told me a fascinating story but I don’t think I am adventurous enough to wear it...

Gemma Veneris is the poetic name given to a rare and fascinating amethyst. Its deep hues play with the sunrays in a mysterious way: the gem both seems to absorb light and to reflect it with a special sparkle.⠀
Gemma Veneris is my fave from this house. I imagine a joyful and peaceful woman who enjoys simple soothing moments. She loves relaxing in her blooming garden, where she'd enjoy a nice cup of tea (earl grey note, rose, ylang, jasmine). She has a hectic life but she makes time for herself, she knows she needs some time down (creamy sandalwood, musk,vanilla) before meeting new challenges with strenght (patchouli, galbanum) and wisdom.⠀

Rayon Vert combines the green coolness of basil and fennel with the sparkle of citrus. Crisp and energizing, with nice anise hues and a warm immortelle base. I must admit longevity is not very good but I really don't care, I love overspraying it again and again ! Just bought a small bottle that won't last long, will get a bigger one as soon as this one is empty.
