Quelques Fleurs l'Original by Houbigant for Women 3.4 oz EDP Spray Tester

$150.00 $54.99

With flower-brimming palettes and smelling blotters in one hand, and laboratory glassware in the other, the French perfumer, Robert Bienaimé, unveiled his Quelques Fleurs world premiere in 1912 as a groundbreaking, multi-floral masterpiece. Since then, his perfectly-balanced, refined bouquet has become modern perfumery’s peerless criterion for pure, meticulously-crafted, multi-floral accords. Prior to his bold invention, floral fragrances had been mainly singular flowers, or florals combined with various nuances of herbs and spices. Bienaimé’s singular triumph is remarkable for its secret, mythical formula. Upwards of 15,000 exemplary flowers and 250 prestigious raw materials are diligently-curated in the creation of a single ounce of the Eau de Parfum. The alluring fragrance is still composed in Grasse, France, overlooking the same historic landscapes that had inspired its formulation. Ethereal and courtly, its mosaic fragrance depicts plush, ambrosial, delicate floral breath as it’s mingled in nature. The enchanting, radiant essence bombards the olfactory senses with soft, sensual, voluptuous flowers arranged in immaculately-nuanced, concordant tonalities. There’s not a single, tonal misfire among its accordant notes, scored in harmonic, well-tempered arrangements.
