The Story
Eau de Parfum No. 45 is a luminous, green floral that captures the essence of a spring garden after rain. Created by Isabelle Doyen, this 1997 original opens with crisp galbanum and hyacinth, then blooms into a heart of jasmine and narcissus. The base is a soft, woody blend of oakmoss and sandalwood, giving it a timeless elegance. It's a fragrance that feels both classic and refreshingly modern.
