The perfume’s inspiration came from the book Madame Bovary (1856) from the autor Gustave Flaubert.
The fragrance begins with a sparkling aromatic inhaling, reflecting Emma Bovary’s restless desires. Lavender Maillette and Lavandin Abrialis create a refined balance, enhanced by basil, spearmint, and anise. Metallic aldehydes add a shimmering energy, while aquatic and fresh-sweet scent nuance lend an airy, dreamlike transparency.
The heart reveals a complex floral and gourmand blend inspired by Emma’s romantic escapism. Jasmine and Madagascar ylang ylang bring soft sweetness, deepened by Moroccan rose.
Smoky Lapsang Souchong tea and own made cacao tincture add a melancholic depth, while honeysuckle, cinnamon, and black pepper enhance the romantic warmth. Sandalwood and cashmeran provide a comforting embrace.
The base is sensual, with patchouli and Bourbon vetiver embodying Emma’s struggle with reality. Civet and castoreum give a seductive edge, while vanilla and coumarin add sweetness. Geosmin and incense evoke a spiritual depth, mirroring Emma’s disillusionment.
Inspiration:
This perfume captures Madame Bovary’s essence, blending Emma’s yearning for luxury with the shadow of disappointment. Crafted with 90+ ingredients over three years matured during months, it reflects her emotional complexity.
