About the Fragrance:
April 1687, the Orangery, Versailles.
More than a thousand Mediterranean trees are housed in the cathedral-like galleries of the Orangery. Built by the King’s architect to impress courtiers, the tree-lined space became a theatrical setting to entertain the Court. Inside, the gardeners would build bonfires to keep the trees warm so when the Sun King visited, the heady scent of firewood blended with his beloved orange blossoms would emit a generous golden aura.
L'Or De Louis captures this radiant moment of warmth and splendor. The fragrance opens with luminous orange blossom absolute, brightened by pomegranate, bergamot, and French jasmine absolute. The heart deepens into honeyed warmth, softened by Florentine orris, musk, and cedar wood. In the base, firewood smoke and cade wood merge with Oiselet de Chypre, a resinous accord dating from the 17th century, creating a regal and glowing finish that lingers like sunlight through glass.
Developed with Rodrigo Flores Roux.
