A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Violet leaf delivers a snappy, almost herbal green burst, immediately softened by bergamot's bright citrus sparkle—think crushed stems and cool morning dew rather than candy. Within minutes, the freshness dominates, establishing an unexpectedly crisp personality that defies what's coming next.
The tuberose and ylang ylang emerge as powdery florals rather than creamy ones, the Bulgarian rose anchoring everything into a luminous, slightly soapy elegance. This mid-stage feels almost like stepping into a cool, high-ceilinged room where expensive cut flowers rest in crystal vases; there's refinement here, but it remains ethereal rather than heavy.
The iris and ambergris combine into a skin-like warmth, the powdery quality persisting as the fragrance settles into a subtle second skin. What remains is less a distinctive projection and more an intimate dry, slightly mineral quality—the green accords fade, leaving behind something gently ambered and faintly powdered, closer to your neck than the room around you.
Fleurissimo arrives as a meditation on restraint—a fragrance that whispers rather than declares. The violet leaf and bergamot opening establishes a crisp, almost herbal freshness, immediately establishing this as something green-tinged and decidedly unsentimental, despite what the floral heart might suggest. What follows is a masterclass in tuberose and ylang ylang restraint; rather than the creamy, almost indolic heaviness these notes can produce in other fragrances, here they're tempered by Bulgarian rose into something more powdery and luminous, like inhaling the cool shadow beneath a gardenia bush rather than the bloom itself.
This is a scent for those who find traditional florals cloying—the 64% green accord ensures this never tips into lipstick territory. Instead, there's an almost soapy cleanliness, a powdered iris emerging from the base that suggests pressed handkerchiefs and old-fashioned vanity. The ambergris doesn't announce itself with animalic warmth but rather adds a subtle depth, a skin-like quality that makes the fragrance feel closer than it actually sits.
