- Aromagroups:

In the aromatic universe, tuberose lounges between the themes of lush creamy white floral, surprisingly bitter hay-like green and sharp spicy.
Perris is fascinated by nature’s fragrant treasures, and make perfume materials THE story of each of their perfumes. So much so, that they experiment with the same perfume material in two different perfume architectures: eau de parfum and extait.
How does this work? Tubereuse Abolue EdP is a sweet luscious bloom. On the extrait version, the darker earthier side of tuberose is encouraged with cedarwood, vetiver, and aggressively green galbanum.

An iconic classic in its own rite, Quelques Fleurs is a true ingenious scent of its time. The French perfumer, Robert Bienaimé, unveiled Quelques Fleurs the first true multi-floral blend ever created, in 1912.
Since then, his perfectly-balanced, refined bouquet has become modern perfumery’s peerless criterion for pure, meticulously-crafted, multi-floral accords. Prior to his bold invention, floral fragrances had been mainly singular flowers, or florals combined with various nuances of herbs and spices. Bienaimé’s singular triumph is remarkable for its secret, mythical formula. Upwards of 15,000 exemplary flowers and 250 prestigious raw materials are diligently-curated in the creation of a single ounce of perfume.
