French Flower (2017 Original)
EDPUnisex
The Story
French Flower is a bold, naturalistic tuberose that feels like a fresh-cut bloom from the south of France. Aurélien Guichard uses a high concentration of tuberose absolute from his family's fields, giving it a creamy, green, and slightly spicy character. It's a tuberose that stays true to the flower without being overly sweet or cloying.
