From 2006., when first Etat Libre d’Orange perfumes were launched, until 2019., ELDO presented only one rose-centred perfume: striking Rossy de Palma Eau de Protection. But in just finished 2019. Etienne de Swardt – bang! – launched three roses: 500 years, Spice Must Flow and Experimentum Crucis.
Connected with the motif of two different female figures on the different poles of what we perceive as “traditional femininity”, strong and powerful La Tsarine and soft and subtle Madama Butterfly II together create a Senyokô’s story about women’s identity, roles, individuality and power/empowerment.
Eau Poivrée, peppery rose/patchouli Twilly flanker is a further step in creating Twilly-identity: refined, controlled and everything but daring. While original Twilly charmingly managed to get the balance between the casual and classic, Eau Poivrée got stuck in a limbo in between.
Tubéreuse Trianon, Sandalwood Sacré, Verveine d’Été, Cuir de Russie, Rose Trocadéro, Eau des Délices, Citron Boboli. All seven Le Jardin Retrouvé perfumes feel like coming to a loving place where everything remains because it was treasured and deeply cherished.
