Pas à Pas

There are words, feelings that we would like to say to those we love; but it is not always obvious, the words have a hard time getting through our lips; we don't know how to express them.

So sometimes, instead of declaring them verbally, we write, draw, offer flowers...or create a perfume!

But how can I create a fragrance that is worthy of this person ?!

This formidable, strong and independent woman who accompanies me step by step on the path of life. The one thanks to whom I discovered and loved the world of perfumery. From Shalimar, to Organza, J'adore, to Opium, to name only a small part of the wonders that have been enthroned on the bathroom shelf; and my plunge from my earliest childhood in this world of aroma and travel. 

This creation, is obviously a way of saying her "I love you" but it is also to thank her, and to tell her that I am proud of the woman, the mother that she is.
Life has not always been tender, the battles have been many, but she has known how to face them and get back on her feet. And through all that she has been able to live, she has always been there to listen to me, to support me, and to help me step by step to become the woman I am today.

So it seemed only natural that for this fragrance one of the queens of perfumery should be at the heart of this trail; a starry flower, deliciously scented, so precious, offering it and a proof of love:

Jasmine Grandiflorum.

(The 7 olfactory families)

To accompany its graceful and sensual charm, floral and fruity aromas, such as red mandarin. 
Soft, sweet, delicate, the tangerine harmonizes the fragrance, bringing assurance and comfort, like a smile, or arms that embrace us.
But it is thanks to this little known exotic white flower, the Osmanthus flower, that jasmine unveils a greedy sensuality to us; accords that are written around a starry flower and carry to the heart.

A trail in the image of this person, dazzling with richness and tenderness.

A declaration, a tribute, a thank you, to a woman, a mother; my mother.
