Brecourt Paris - Les Éphémères - OSMANTHUS GUILIN
If the Earth is a sensitive element, it expresses its serenity through the presence of small white flowers that grow not far from Guilin. I met a producer who organizes their picking at dawn and preserves them in the natural brine a few months before extracting an absolute of unbelievable quality. I needed more than a year to succeed in transcribing this magic moment where Nature delivered an emotion stopping time and reminded us of our ancestral origins, the antipodes of our civilization. Close your eyes and let yourself be transported to the delicacy of these subtle notes, through which the symphonic rhythm of the river Li passes by. Be invaded by the majestic freshness of the rising sun and feel the caress of a sweet violet. Let all these essences guide you through the fleeting rustle of the monsoon revealing an Indian tuberose with cashmere wood. When you wear this fragrance, you leave behind a little all this.

Les Éphémères Collection
Éphémère: from the Greek epì and Emera, literally: lasting but a day.
The ultimate purpose of the Maîtres Parfumeurs, was the search for new raw materials, to completely enlighten their last creation; alchemist magicians transforming ether into a divine foundation… In contrast, most perfumes are produced nowadays from a standard palette of ingredients which is equally available to everyone.
Each perfume in the "Les Éphémères" collection directs its focus on a rare and precious raw material. Often it involves completely forgotten substances that can only be produced in very small quantities or are too unstable to be noted on the list of popular fragrances.
Whoever manufactures a fragrance under such conditions cannot guarantee that the fine raw material in the center of the composition will be available again in the required quantity or quality in the following year.
No one can predict whether a perfume can ever be reproduced as the perfect equivalent to the "first edition." Therein lies the volatile nature of these creations: they are impermanent, not reproducible, available only for a short time and in limited quantities ... "éphémère". Emilie Bouge, creator and nose of the Brécourt brand.
