By perfumer Robert BienaiméHoubigant FloralUnisex An iconic classic in its own rite, Quelques Fleurs is a true ingenious scent of its time. The French perfumer, Robert Bienaimé, unveiled Quelques Fleurs the first true multi-floral blend ever created, in 1912. Ethereal and courtly, its mosaic fragrance depicts plush, ambrosial, delicate floral breath as it’s mingled in nature. The enchanting, radiant essence bombards the olfactory senses with soft, voluptuous flowers arranged in immaculately-nuanced, concordant tonalities. Sensual and charming, its heart speaks of pure emotion, underpinned by Jasmine, Tuberose, Lily of the Valley, Violet, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Carnation, Broom Flower, Orange Blossom and Clove. Its vivacious, alluring head of Bergamot, Galbanum, Tarragon, Lemon dries-down to a cultivated base of Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Civet, Cedarwood, Musk, Orris, and Tonka Bean. When in-house French perfumer Robert Bienaimé created his multi-floral masterpiece, Quelques Fleurs, in 1912 for the House of Houbigant, he'd set a new precedent in modern perfumery. Prior to his bold invention, floral fragrances had been mainly singular flowers, or florals combined with various nuances of herbs and spices. Bienaimé’s singular triumph is remarkable for its secret, mythical formula. Upwards of 15,000 exemplary flowers and 250 prestigious raw materials are diligently-curated in the creation of a single ounce of the Eau de Parfum. The alluring fragrance is still composed in Grasse, France, overlooking the same historic landscapes that had inspired its formulation.
