French Flower (2016 Original)
EDPUnisex
The Story
French Flower is a bold, naturalistic tuberose that feels like a fresh-cut bloom from a French garden. Aurélien Guichard uses a high concentration of tuberose absolute from India, giving it a creamy, green, and slightly spicy character. It's a tuberose for those who want the real thing—lush, indolic, and unapologetically floral.
