Quelques Fleurs L'Original

Inspiration
In 1912 the finest perfumes were mostly sold as extraits, in small crystal flacons on the dressing table. This version brings Quelques Fleurs back to that form: concentrated, precious and meant to be dabbed.

The Signature of Quelques Fleurs L'Original
Tuberose and jasmine are creamy and heavy here, with violet and rose as soft counterparts. Orris, sandalwood, musk and a touch of civet give a warm, skin-like base that lasts for hours.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
For us the extrait is the real Quelques Fleurs. The civet in the base gives it a warm, slightly animalic skin scent you hardly find in modern perfumery anymore. It stays close to you, but what depth. Anyone who ever smelled a vintage bottle from her grandmother will be moved to tears.
