History
feminin Pluriel arrived in 2014, the feminine half of the Pluriel duo it forms with masculin Pluriel. The house presents it as the quest for an eternal, timeless feminine, made for all women, in the plural.
The composition is a grand floral bouquet. It unfolds from Florentine iris to violet, from rose to jasmin, from lily of the valley to orange blossom, like a garden opening. The build owns its lineage with the great classic florals.
That bouquet is supported by chypre accents: vetiver and patchouli lay a dark, elegant base, and violet adds a powdery facet. It is a dressed chypre floral, more classic than showy, with solid staying power.

Olfactory profile
feminin Pluriel opens powdery and fresh: Florentine iris lays a rooty elegance, which rose brightens with a floral freshness. The entry signals a classic floral, neither fruity nor sweet.
The heart is a true bouquet: jasmin, lily of the valley and orange blossom answer one another, white and luminous. The house owns the floral abundance, in the lineage of the great classics, without ever turning heady.
The chypre base makes the difference: powdery violet, vetiver and patchouli lay a dark, elegant foundation that holds the bouquet over time. A dressed chypre floral for mild to cold seasons, worn in the evening or at the office.
