Hélène Napoleone was the daughter of Napoleon’s last lover, Albine de Montholon, and although it was never confirmed if the now-exiled Emperor was indeed her father, he did give her his name, so…?

“Faire le mur” means “going AWOL” en Français, and if you’re going to make a break for it, you might as well do it fragrantly with this fruity-floral escapade. Heady jasmine and spicy lily get juicy thanks to orange and pear. Osmanthus, with its delicate apricot tea facet, bridges flowers to fruits.
PG17 Tubéreuse Couture by Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale £140.00
- Key notes:
- benzoin
- jasmine
- kalamanzi
- tuberose
- Aromagroups:
- floral
Tuberose is arguably the most divisive and polarising floral note due to its narcotic and carnal tones, here Pierre Guillaume pays tribute to its couture complexity.
The camphorous and medicinal opening of PG17 Tubéreuse Couture, is softened by shoots of green ripe jasmine and a sour tart accord created by rare South Asian citrus kalamansi.
PG17 Tubéreuse Couture soon develops in a creamy, fleshy and opulent tuberose bouquet. Ylang-ylang heightens and supports the buttery and lactonic (milky) tones of tuberose, sweetened by a base of sugar cane and benzoin.
A daring and head-turning scent, PG17 Tubéreuse Couture is a wonderfully dramatic interpretation of this flamboyant flower, in its pure, unadulterated state.
Definitely not for wallflowers.
Mimosa Gold by Exaltatum £130.00
- Key notes:
- almond
- champaca
- heliotrope
- mimosa
- tonka beans
- Aromagroups:
- floral
- woody
Our life is a long journey through good times and difficult times. We carry our inner child through those hardships and hills, trying to protect it, guarding it on the road.
For me, mimosa flower is a symbol of a beautiful, fluffy pompon, innocent and micro-sized Earth.
I remember myself at the age of three, dressed in a short puffed mimosa-yellow georgette dress, hiding in the tall, light green grass, experiencing a tremendous sense of bliss and joy.
This memory follows me all my life. MIMOSA GOLD is a memory of my happy childhood. Therefore I encourage you to remember good times in your own childhood while experiencing this perfume.
That's why I chose a marvellous mimosa dealbata absolute from France and acacia farnesiana from Egypt to create the heart of this perfume, supported with a creamy ylang-ylang from Comoros. They have not only beautiful smell, but are an incarnation of innocence, beauty of Nature and joy.

Ah the wiliness of youth! You think that fresh face shines with only innocence, until a feral cunning presents itself.
