Angélique

Inspired by the astonishing beauty of the Iris Pallida flower, Angelique captures the delicate essence of a delightful Spring Garden.
VEGAN
Cascades of French mimosa, osmanthus and white champac are woven between the powdered, violet facets of precious orris. Virginian cedarwood and subtle notes of frankincense bring an ethereal light and delicate freshness to this tender composition.

Our perfumer’s inspiration for a new fragrance comes to her in many ways, but none more so than from the nature in her own garden. Angelique began life as an olfactory portrait of the scent of her children’s heads when they were babies, using orris concrete as the foundation material for the formula and after careful study of the Iris Pallida flower, the fragrance emerged as nature's own sketch of what Angelique would become. Angelique became a perfume based on her personal impression of the beautiful Iris Pallida, a flower that is as captivating and beautiful as nature herself.

Perfume is more than adornment, it is ritual, memory, and expression.

Begin with clean, moisturised skin to help the fragrance linger.

Apply to the pulse points: the wrists, neck, behind the ears, places where the blood stirs just beneath the skin, warming the scent and releasing its story.

One or two sprays are all that’s needed. A soft dab, if using extrait. Let it settle naturally - do not rub, as this disturbs the composition and bruises the unfolding of the notes.

For a lighter presence, mist the air and walk through, a veil of scent, barely spoken.

Store away from sunlight and heat, as you would something rare and precious. Let the perfume become part of your presence, discovered, never declared.
