Bvlgari pour Femme opens with fresh and crystalline top notes; it develops around a flowered middle note where the dominant flavour of Sambac jasmine tea then mixes into delicately sensual aromas, such as Mimosa of Grasse. Prelude Rose, used for the first time in perfume, underlines the perfume's timeless character, and delicately fades into a powdery, sensual bottom note of musk.
Created over half a century ago by Robert Ricci, this legendary perfume is still today one of the most recognized essences. Delicate, magical, the fragrance brings a feeling of freedom as for the world famous kissing doves on the bottle cap.
One of the most renowned and admired fragrances of all time, Quelques Fleurs L\'Original forever changed floral fragrances when it became the first true multi-floral bouquet 90 years ago. A classic that has endured the test of time, the fragrance is wrapped in a theme of sculptured petals in a frosted and clear French glass. The true Quelques Fleurs formula has never been published. An ancient formula still kept in the family archives, this fragrance will never be duplicated. The blend of soft, sensual florals uses over 250 different raw materials and more than 15,000 flowers to create just one ounce of Quelques Fleurs eau de parfum. To this day it is still produced in Grasse, France, where Jean Francois Houbigant first created his perfumes in 1775.
