MAPPLE SPIRIT BY STÉPHANE COEZ WOOD, A LASTING FOUNDATION OF FRAGRANCE, IS REIMAGINED WITH MAPPLE SPIRIT. INSTEAD OF THE ARCHETYPAL “BLOND WOOD,” THIS BASE ENVISIONS WOOD SOFTENED BY GOURMAND UNDERTONES, TENDER, RADIANT, AND LUMINOUS. IT BEHAVES LIKE A RAW MATERIAL IN ITS OWN RIGHT, A STRUCTURAL PILLAR AROUND WHICH FRAGRANCES CAN BE BUILT. THE ACCORD EVOLVES FROM SMOKY WARMTH INTO CREAMY SOFTNESS: CEDAR’S STRENGTH MELTING INTO A VANILLIC VEIL REMINISCENT OF MAPLE SYRUP. BENZOIN ADDS CREAMINESS, SANDALWOOD DEPTH, AND PATCHOULI REFINED SPICE. THIS BALANCING ACT BETWEEN ROBUSTNESS AND ENVELOPING GENTLENESS EXPANDS THE EXPRESSIVE POTENTIAL OF WOODS. MAPPLE SPIRIT GIVES PERFUMERS A VERSATILE FOUNDATION, WOOD THAT FEELS BOTH COMFORTING AND DISTINCTIVE, OPENING FRESH CREATIVE PATHS. META FLORA BY ANNE-LOUISE GAUTIER FLORALITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN CENTRAL TO PERFUMERY, YET ITS FUTURE FACES CONSTRAINTS AS NATURALS GROW SCARCE OR RESTRICTED. META FLORA ANSWERS THIS CHALLENGE WITH A VISION OF THE BLOOM OF TOMORROW: NOT A SINGLE FLOWER, BUT THE MEMORY OF AN IMAGINED ONE. AIRY CITRUS AND MINERAL SPARKS ILLUMINATE TRANSLUCENT PETALS, DISSOLVING INTO A LUMINOUS TRAIL OF MUSK AND SHEER WOODS. THE EFFECT IS HOLOGRAPHIC, LIKE A BRIGHT, WEIGHTLESS CLOUD SHIMMERING WITH CRYSTALLINE REFLECTIONS. WHAT MAKES META FLORA DISTINCTIVE IS ITS VERSATILITY. IT HARMONISES WITH DIVERSE FLORAL NOTES, LENDING BLOOM, BODY, AND PETAL-LIKE TEXTURE. RATHER THAN IMITATING A SPECIFIC FAMILY, IT INTRODUCES MODERNITY TO ANY FLORAL COMPOSITION, AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR PERFUMERS SHAPING THE NEXT CHAPTER OF FLORALITY RHUBELLION BY LAURE SANTANTONI RHUBELLION CELEBRATES RHUBARB IN ITS PUREST EXPRESSION: SHARP, METALLIC, RED AND GREEN, BURSTING WITH VITALITY. FAR FROM THE GOURMAND CLICHÉS WITH WHICH IT IS OFTEN PAIRED, THIS ACCORD EMBRACES TENSION, FIZZ AND ELECTRIC ENERGY. BLACKCURRANT ENHANCES THE CONTRAST, ITS BITING AND ASTRINGENT FACETS AMPLIFYING THE VEGETAL EDGE WHERE RHUBARB SLICES THROUGH. THE INTERPLAY OSCILLATES BETWEEN FRUIT AND FOLIAGE, CRISPNESS AND VELVETY SMOOTHNESS. THE COMPOSITION DOES NOT AIM TO SOOTHE BUT TO AWAKEN. RHUBELLION IS A VIVID, VERTICAL ACCORD, CARRYING A ZESTY SPRINGTIME MOMENTUM INTO A LONG-LASTING FRESHNESS. ITS GREEN AND FRUITY FOUNDATION LENDS COMPOSITIONS A VIBRANT BRIGHTNESS AND A VITAL SPARK OF ENERGY THAT LASTS. ❚ © STEPHANE DE BOURGIES ❚ © STEPHANE DE BOURGIES ❚ © STEPHANE DE BOURGIES P A R F U M P L U S 25
