Florals are the most varied family: a rose can be fresh or dark, a jasmine sunny or animalic, a tuberose creamy or green. You will also find orange blossom, neroli, iris, peony, magnolia and lily of the valley. These fragrances work in every season; light bouquets suit everyday wear, while denser white florals are better for the evening. Many are worn by women, but several fragrances in this selection are designed without gender in mind.
A few examples from the collection: Carnal Flower by Frédéric Malle, a tuberose with jasmine and orange blossom, from €250 for 50 ml; Rose Rebatchi by Maison Rebatchi, from €30 for 9 ml; Neroli 30 by Nuages, €150 for 50 ml; Marbella by Carner Barcelona, built around Bulgarian rose and peony, €170 for 100 ml; Une fleur d’oranger by Obvious Parfums, €130 for 100 ml; and Le Jasmin by Nysos, €120 for 80 ml.
You can try the entire floral selection at the boutique, 27 rue de Marignan, Paris 8th. If you are torn between several flowers, the Scent Matchmaker points you in the right direction from home.
