Islette Botanical Perfume Oil
HONEYSUCKLE: A voluptuous ingredient from a farm in Italy. Intensely rich, honeyed, heady, creamy - with nuances of jasmine and pome fruits. It could be a perfume on its own if it had staying power.
COFFEE FLOWER: Distilled from the flowers of the coffee plant, the flowers exude an entirely different profile than the “fruit” to which we are accustomed. Creamy and lactonic, with facets reminiscent of ylang ylang.
VANILLA: We used a couple of vanillas to create a more complex base accord to help highlight the sweetness of the honeysuckle while bringing out the coumarin/tonka and bourbon facets to help make the coffee flower more velvety.Nestled along the Indre River in the heart of the Loire Valley, the tranquil Château de l’Islette (pronounced eez-LEHT) offers a delightful escape. This charming Renaissance-era château, adjacent to an ancient wheat mill draped in vines, shares architectural similarities with the nearby Château d’Azay-le-Rideau but stands apart with its unique romantic appeal. The estate is a sanctuary of beauty, with intimate lavender-lined parterres and an expansive English-style park, where vibrant climbing roses intertwine with willow trees that gracefully weep along the riverbanks. Soft clouds of hydrangeas and other flowers bloom in pastel hues, enhancing the château's enchanting atmosphere. Adding to its allure, Islette is renowned as the meeting place of famed sculptors Rodin and Camille Claudel, whose passionate love affair and creative collaborations leave a rich legacy. This captivating setting felt like the perfect backdrop to present a perfume inspired by the sweet, honeyed scent of honeysuckle.
With the château and gardens in mind, we designed a complex scent using plant-based essential oils and compounds that includes Italian honeysuckle, Madagascar coffee flowers, and Madagascar vanilla to elicit the vine covered mill, the breezes passing over the misty river carrying sweet floating scents of cream and pink flowers, and to strengthen the romance that lingers in every corner of the property.
Come on a journey with us to the charming banks of the river Indre as we intertwine among the romantic roses and vine covered façades.
Our Islette botanical perfume oil is made with skin-friendly, natural golden jojoba oil as well as a complex blend of plant-based oils and compounds that includes Italian honeysuckle, Madagascar coffee flowers, and Madagascar vanilla. Each perfume is made in micro batches and then aged for a month so you get the strongest and freshest sensations possible.
All of our botanical perfumes, regardless of their format, are meticulously crafted exclusively from natural ingredients. As a result, they exhibit a distinct difference from the customary endurance of synthetic perfumes. Rather than filling the surrounding space with their aroma, our perfumes are designed to envelop and enhance the essence of the wearer and those in close proximity. Their longevity, spanning approximately 2 to 6 hours (sometimes more), is subject to an individual's unique body chemistry—although we commit ourselves to a minimum of 3 hours for a perfume formula, from the initial fragrance unveiling to the lingering traces of base notes on the skin.
In a departure from conventional perfumery, our creations are artfully constructed to undergo a metamorphosis over time. Unlike traditional fragrances that maintain a static olfactory profile, our perfumes evolve and transform, much like the gardens from which we’ve drawn inspiration. This transformative quality imparts a heightened sense of intrigue and complexity, offering the wearer an interesting journey of discovery with every application. What aromatic revelations will unfurl within seconds, minutes, and hours? We invite you to discover the captivating journey we have thoughtfully curated for your enjoyment.
