Coinciding with the launch of this edition is ‘The French Garden’, a new collection of six fragrances from Officine Universelle Buly that garland vegetable notes with flowers and musks, all giving off a morning dew freshness. ‘A garden is like a perfect universe,’ says Buly’s co-founder, Victoire de Taillac. ‘A paradise. A haven… Gardening means being outside in all weathers, with all your sense awakened. The smells come together and surprise you…’ Also taking the senses by surprise are combinations like Indian Cucumber and Syrian mint, offering ‘crazy minty joy’, in a cloak of musk, and Iraqi Beetroot and Egyptian Rhubarb, tethered to the earthiness of patchouli. Or enjoy that note du jour, geranium, adding an extra dash of green to Oriental Watercress and Sardinian Parsley.
