The spathes of its flower are a source of wonder, and are as fragile and delicate as silk paper. A perennial plant of the Iridaceae family, iris pallida is native to the Dalmatian coast (Croatia): pale in colour, often mauve, it grows in clusters from a rhizome. Known as the blue gold of perfumery, iris has an elegantly powdery, slightly sweet and finely woody scent. It is both powerful and refined, enveloping and comforting.

An intense and exhilarating fragrance of great sensuality. Originally from Mexico, tuberose, a herbaceous plant of the Agavaceae family, appeared in Europe from the year 1600. To avoid altering its fragrance, its flowers are still picked by hand today. Its fragrance is considered one of the most powerful in the plant kingdom. Tuberose is a flower of love and intense sensuality: fruity and honeyed, almost narcotic, its scent is that of skin and ecstasy.

The tomato, a berry of the Solanaceae family, is one of the most popular fruits in the world. Few people know that it was first grown in South America, and that its name comes from the Inca “tomalt”. Sweet and fleshy, whether in the fruit basket or veggie pot, the tomato agrees with our palates, but not all palates agree on how to pronounce it. I say tomato…Its vegetable flavour, both tangy and sweet, evokes indulgence. Its green note places it in the heart of a field, where the ripest are ready to be picked.
