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.

Perfumer: Alexandra Carlin

An ambery floral universe carefully put together with stunning night blooming flowers.

The formula features an accord of Galant de Nuit, also called night blooming jasmine (technically not a jasmine, but a plant closer related to potatoes). This gentle flower cannot be distilled, but its captivating fragrance has been recreated for Bloomastral with the help of a very specific jasmine variety. The perfumer used a particular jasmine which can only be harvested in Egypt within the space of two weeks in August. There is also a delicious, fruity and honeyed osmanthus theme. Finally, the oud oil adds extra mystery and darkness to the story.

Gigi by Jardins d’Écrivains £85.00

  • Key notes:
  • cut grass
  • orange blossom
  • tuberose
  • white musk
  • Tags:
  • #sexy
  • Aromagroups:
  • floral

The perfume references the era when you could say with your ostrich feathers fan:

We are being watched (twirling the fan in the left hand); or
We will be friends (dropping the fan) and so on.

It’s a scent the heroine of the Colette’s novel: Gigi could have worn. An ultra-feminine floral formula with a big tuberouse heart, generously vulgar at first impression. But just like Gigi followed her heart instead of becoming a professional courtesan, the perfume is much more complex and sophisticated than it appears on first sniff.  It’s the whole bouquet of white floral notes: neroli, orange blossom, jasmine and soft delicate woods. 

***

The Sniff on Jardins d'Ecrivains:

"Here at The Sniff we are increasingly of the opinion that ‘garden’ should be a category of scent; more than just florals, not just green in tone, these scents transport the wearer to another time and space. Gigi by Jardins d’Ecrivains is a lovely example of a garden scent that is easy to wear and will delight in long winter months."

  • Aromagroups:
  • floral
  • unconventional

"A rich fragrance that opens up with a burst of humid basil and crisp galbanum. The green notes give way to luscious and fruity strawberries and raspberries that offer a tartness to the velvety peaches and apricots. The white floral bouquet is big and bold, conjured by layers of tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom and white lilies. This choir of florals lies down on a soft bed of caramelised sandalwood and vanilla, intertwined with milky musks and radiant amber. "

Tsarina is part of the Four Corners of the Earth collection, and represents a romantic view of the Eastern lands known variously throughout history as Moscovia, the Russian empire, USSR, and now, Russia.

These fabled landscapes are the setting for Slavic folk tales about the cannibal witch Baba Yaga, the three headed dragons, and many brave maidens ruling over kingdoms. This region which is also the setting for beloved classic literature including War and Peace and Eugene Onegin.

Tsarina/Царица is an ancient title for a female ruler of these lands, whether imaginary or real. Tsarina the perfume has romantic references to fairy tales and the opulence of courts: delectable candied citruses, the waxy, melted candle-like nuance of sandalwood, and the fine leather/fur presence provided by orris and labdanum.

The elixir is also exceptionally concentrated, at 42% - hence the 'intensivo' in the title.

Sunlight by Brocard £155.00

  • Key notes:
  • black pepper
  • caramel
  • cardamom
  • honeysuckle
  • mandarin
  • oak
  • orange blossom
  • sea salt
  • vanilla
  • Aromagroups:
  • citrusy
  • edible
  • floral

Sunlight was commissioned by Brocard to Bertrand Duchaufour. It is their first experiment in the luxury segment and an approach to perfume making as conceptual art.

To understand this perfume you need to go back to those physics lessons at school when they explained the nature of light. That light is actually a wave of particles, a flow of energy and that we can only discern the separate colors of natural light with a prism.

The second thing to consider before you approach Sunlight is to think how we experience light and sunlight in particular. We register it around us, we can tell if there is more of it or less around but it’s a phenomenon on the verge of comprehension and conscious perception and in the past the Sun and its manifestations were worshiped as source of life and something divine bestowed on us.

In Sunlight the perfumer used exotic spices, juicy citruses, Mediterranean flowers, some gourmand accords such as marron glace and benzoin resin. However, they all merge into an omnipresent uniform wave of particles around you which you can only perceive as a whole perfume, same way we perceive sunlight. The perfume is also as pleasant as warm rays of the Sun thanks to the subtle gourmand touch, sweet citruses and gentle flowers.

The choice of materials is not random, the sun brings orchards to life, sweet aromas attracting busy bees, the golden round citruses resemble mini Suns and precious benzoin resin represents warmth earth might exude when heated with sun rays.

The bottle deserves a separate mention, it's heavy crystal with exactly 57 facets, the same number you have in the classic diamond cut, the perfect number to capture light inside the stone and make it pulse within.

You can actually spin the bottle (the base has been cut in a special way) to admire the play of light inside the amber coloured tincture.
