Every fragrance house has a beginning. FLEURS DE DÉESSE was ours. I love floral fragrances — there are beautiful ones out there. But so many of them seemed to smell the same. I wanted something different, timeless, effortless. For me, that started with linden blossom. Originally created for myself, I could not gatekeep this beauty.
When I brought that vision to our perfumer, Maud Chabanis, she understood immediately. We built the fragrance around the linden blossom, letting it lead, supported by radiant orange blossom and the quiet resin of elemi, then grounded in cedarwood and cypriol. The name came from another source of inspiration — Annick Goutal, Olivia Giacobetti, and Christine Nagel, female perfumers whose work I have admired for decades. To me, they are the goddesses of fragrance. It felt right.
FLEURS DE DÉESSE is the fragrance I always wanted to find and never could.
