Tulipe

Sepia flower

An aura to break even the most composed of manners.

Main notes
Tulip accord, acacia flower, jasmine, musk

The scent’s signature
Jasmine and its half-fruity, half-sensual signature

Description
Tulipe uncovers itself in the tulip’s varnish-like crispy green note before progressing towards a green and fruity floral facet, with added jasmine and narcissus. Musk and cedar envelop the composition in a halo of modernity.

Context
A brand new creation by Thomas Fontaine for Le Galion in 2020, Tulipe could easily be the olfactory translation of a still life painting from the Dutch golden age. Stems, flowers, and peeled fruit patiently sit together, gathered on a solid wood table. A nod to Paul Vacher’s penchant for art and his inspiring strength.

A word from our perfumer
“I wanted to create a modern, floral green fragrance. The tulip opened up for me, this muted flower that we rebuild from fruity, green notes. The narcissus gave me green floral accents, jasmine gave me fruity floral inflections, while the ylang slipped in to varnish the painting over a wooden frame.”
