Fleur de Coton: origins and transformation

Fleur de coton is a plant with a history stretching back thousands of years; the earliest evidence of its cultivation dates back more than 7,000 years. The various species of cotton plant, whether native to the Americas or Asia, all share the same distinctive flowering pattern: solitary blossoms that open at dawn, creamy white and sometimes turning pale yellow, and last just one day.

Fleur de coton carries rich symbolism. In many cultures, it embodies purity and softness. This symbolism finds a particular resonance in perfumery, where the scent "fleur de coton" has become synonymous with cleanliness and well-being.

1. Top notes: delicate freshness

From the very first moments, the fragrance reveals its freshness as freesia mingles with the green accents of cotton seeds. This opening creates an enveloping first impression.

2. Heart notes: a soft, comforting floral bouquet

At the heart of the composition, fleur de coton reveals all its delicacy, enhanced by the captivating presence of vanilla orchid. This floral duo strikes a perfect balance between softness and character, with powdery notes enriched by a subtle hint of sweetness.

3. Base notes: elegant, warm depth

The true foundation of the composition, the base notes pair the woody richness of amaranth wood with the sensuality of white musk. This sophisticated base helps the fragrance linger while lending it a depth that is both soft and refined.
