History
féminin 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 and 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 beneath the powdery violet of the opening. It is a dressed chypre floral, more classic than showy, with solid staying power.
Fragrance notes
The house describes féminin Pluriel as a grand floral bouquet. Here is its structure, from Florentine iris to the chypre base.
From Florentine iris to patchouli, féminin Pluriel unfolds a grand bouquet backed by a dark, powdery chypre accord.
Scent profile
féminin 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 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: 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.
