Islette Botanical Solid Perfume

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.

The Islette limited edition botanical solid perfume is made with pure, natural jojoba oil and beeswax as well as a complex blend of plant-based essential oils that includes Italian honeysuckle, Madagascar coffee flower, and Madagascar vanilla. Each perfume is individually crafted and hand poured 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.

Usage: For best scent application, use the edge of your fingernail to scrape up a portion of solid perfume. Liberally apply at pressure points (wrists, neck, behind ears, inside elbows, etc.), or wherever you wear fragrance. Reapply as desired throughout the day.
