34 BOULEVARD SAINT GERMAIN

Once upon a time…
Existed a story of love and friendship that lasted 40 years between Christiane, Yves and Desmond, three transdisciplinary creators from the worlds of architecture, theatre and painting. Once upon a time, there were three multiskilled idealists, three free and cultivated poets, three aesthetes and artists, who where united by their taste for travel and great civilizations, and a shared sense of beauty. Once upon a time, three “marchands de rien” (purveyors of trifles) sold only what they loved, what they discovered, redecorated and repurposed in the course of their inspired travels. Once upon a time, there were decorative items, scented candles and the perfumes – because, ultimately, smells, more than any element, serve as bearers of memory to inspire, and encourage the imagination to wander.

L’ART DU SOIN

L’Art du Soin is a poetic experience, a sensorial product line designed for the well-being of both the body and soul.

The fruity sparkle of bergamot, the tangy zest of green mandarine, and the citrusy, honey-kissed taste of neroli. A fabulous fushion of freshness that awakens the body and stimulates the mind, echoing the invigorating waterfalls of Calabria. The bright scent of orange blossoms, like a morning breeze, refreshes the sleeping skin, leaving it soft and replenished.

TOP NOTES: Mint
MIDDLE NOTES: Lemon and Verbena
BASE NOTES: Musk and Vanilla

FLEUR DE PEAU

A tribute to the mythical love between Psyche and Eros, which led to the birth of their daughter, Hedone.

One scent can convey this legend: musks. At the heart of Fleur de Peau, they are cottony, soft or moist. Highlighted with iris and ambrette seed, they reveal their full tactile dimension.

TOP NOTES: Aldehydes, Pink Pepper, Angelica and Bergamot
MIDDLE NOTES: Iris and Turkish Rose
BASE NOTES: Musk, Ambrette seeds, Carrot, Ambergris, Sandalwood, Leather and Amberwood

PHILOSYKOS

The memory of a Greek summer at Mount Pelion. To get to the sea, there was a natural grove of wild fig trees to cross through. The sun at its zenith heated the earth, the dry wind carried the scent of the trees and their fruit. Philosykos is an ode to the entire fig tree: the green freshness of the leaves, the density of the white wood, the milky flavour of the figs. “Philosykos” means “friend of the fig tree” in Greek. A tree whose leaves and a few branches brought back in a memory box was the source of inspiration.

TOP NOTES: Fig, Fig wood and Fig milk
MIDDLE NOTES: Green fig leaf
BASE NOTES: White Cedar and Woods
