As a child, Calice Becker once asked her mother how flowers get inside a bottle of eau de cologne. The liquid inside was transparent, but it smelled strongly of orange blossoms. Once she started studying perfumery, she discovered the answer to this mystery, and today she herself fills crystal bottles with flowers.
One of the most respected perfumer in the world, Calice has created world renowned fragrances such as Dior J’adore and other “chef d’oeuvre” for YSL, Marc Jacobs and By Kilian.
THE MUSC
Ethical sourcing Reg Ginger from Laos implementing a polycultural approach and natural Lavandin grosso from France. Beeswax also from Laos allowed 2 secondary schools to be built and limit rural exodus. Australian Sandalwood promoting a sustainable supply of sandalwood oil that is harvested by Aboriginal communities in the southern part of Western Australia. A duo of sythetic musk (Nirvanolide and Serenolide, exclusive captif from Givaudan) offering fresh, creamy notes as well as long lastingness, with a touch of sweet facet.
“I imagined this fragrance as a cloud of enveloping and comforting musk. A delicious musk blended with red ginger, lavender, a radiant floral heart and soft, woody tones of a sublime sandalwood album from Australia."
