...For an olfactory reinterpretation of the idea of water and flower, Alberto Morillas started from a single image, the vision of ‘a garden in the morning, with a drop on a flower petal.’ I did keep the main theme of roses and water, but I shifted the original liquid-aquatic register towards an evocation of something more like mist or dew .” So the babbling brook evoked in the original has been re-transcribed into what the designer describes as ‘a damp, green impression (…) exalting freshness and the most abstract facets of the floral notes’.
Without wishing to reveal all of his secrets, the fragrance designer sketches an olfactory profile of his new creation:
“It opens with an unusual plant accord (and) a zest of mandarin orange to make the floral-aquatic theme sparkle and melt gently into the pastel-wood trail.”
“To garb the rose heart in a vaporous and glistening gown, I worked around mimosa (…) which brings a tender and sun-drenched sensuality and which goes as well with the rose as with the woodsy trail or the opening plant accord.”
At the close, Alberto Morillas worked with musks, amber and pale woods with a sweet and captivating ingredient that evokes the smell of skin: Ambrox. “As sweet as vanilla, rich in plant and wood facets (…) Ambrox grants an impalpable density to the trail, which blossoms gradually on the skin… “To garb the fragrance, the glass of the bottle is clad in a light, misty cloud and a soft, satiny steel cap. The package innovates with a white box that has been perforated to look pixellized, affording a glimpse of the bottle.
