Brecourt Paris - Les Éphémères - Rosa Gallica
Rose, the queen of flowers, prickly but graceful, a subtle mystery of beauty, who invites herself at the strongest moments in our life. This was at the heart of this first opus...
Rosa Gallica, it is the original rose from which all the others come from. Forgotten since Anacréon but found growing wild somewhere in Central Europe and distilled in a organic way by a Frenchman fond of Georgia and flowers… Strange blend which ended in an incredibly powerful and pure fragrance. A mixture of sweetness and strength where the rose adorns itself with dry and precious wood with the background of ambergris.
”The collection of scents “Ephémère” aims at exploring the old and sometimes forgotten universe of rare and precious essences, often abandoned by the modern perfumery, due to high costs or because the raw materials are produced in such a limited quantity that a mass production is not possible.
The creation becomes “Ephemeral” as the commercial continuity of the product is not guaranteed, as it is linked to the availability, the quality and the quantity of the raw material.
The creation will remain only in the souvenir of the ones who were able to discover it.
For the first edition of the collection Emilie Bouge, the creator, has tried to give birth to a fragrance that had as a main subjectthe Queen of flowers: The Gallic Rose. The Gallic Rose can be considered as the originary Rose, the mother of all Roses, already known and cultivated in pre Christian times. Almost totally disappeared from commerce, the Gallic Rose has these days only hybrid versions. Emilie Bouge was able to find in Central Europe an organic farmer of Gallic Rose with whom to share love and respect of flowers. ”After smelling for the first time an en extract of its perfume, I was totally bewitched of its un unmatched aromatic power”. All the components of this fragrance have been associated to create a scent dedicated to the ”Connaisseurs”, an ancestral and mythic fragrance, blended with a unusual woody dry note. A perfume which is a Masterpiece of ”Haute Parfumerie”, to be loved not only by women, but also by most refined gentlemen.
