EXTRAIT DE PARFUM St. Clair Scents perfumes are available to pre-order until Sunday 29 June. Orders will be fulfilled once stock arrives. The inspiration for St. Clair's two perfumes, Pandora and Eve, is the painting “Pandora” (1896) by the Pre-Raphaelite artist, John William Waterhouse. Showing Pandora as she opens the forbidden box, the artist captures her curious, innocent expression against the backdrop of a dark, sinister forest. The stories of Pandora and Eve, who reached for the forbidden apple, have much in common. Both came to symbolize women who were punished for disobeying orders and acting on their impulses towards curiosity. St. Clair believe that women who challenge the rules and follow their curiosity are striving towards creativity, innovation and independence. Thus, these perfumes are part of the St. Clair “Audacious Innocence” collection.
