Lancôme has appointed some of the greatest contemporary perfumers to pay homage to Lancôme's founder, Armand Petitjean. The result is Maison Lancôme, a collection of fragrances that touch upon and carry Petitjean's dream and the essence of the House. This High Perfumery experience takes a creative stance: the French art of blending. Each fragrance is crafted in the same manner that one composes a wine of the most superior grade, with a combination of varieties, origins and extractions that are all selected according to precise criteria.Nathalie Lorson blended two extractions of Iris Resinoid and Iris Distillate of the highest quality. The extractions are then crystallized in sugared almonds making that the signature of the fragrance.With a precious bottle made of glass, the noble materials reveal the story of the Art of Assemblage. Lancôme revisits its tradition of uniting art and craftsmanship by entrusting French artists Alex & Marine to tell the story of the Grand Cru Fragrances with each bottle design. Drawing inspiration from the fragrance florals, including the way that they were picked and crafted into an essence, each fragrance blend is interpreted with an illustration that has been reproduced on a golden plate on the back of the bottle. The plate acts as the transparent window of the glass bottle, emotionally and gracefully expressing the reinvention of the Flower.
