Hélène Napoleone was the daughter of Napoleon’s last lover, Albine de Montholon, and although it was never confirmed if the now-exiled Emperor was indeed her father, he did give her his name, so…? Her namesake fragrance is a vivacious bouquet of fruits and florals, headlined by sparkling pear and creamy magnolia. The charm deepens with the amber base, warmed by sandalwood and patchouli.

Vanilla and humid mangrove wood leave a lasting warmth. Projection stays soft, humming quietly — a fine-gauge knit that rests gently on skin.

Giddy joy is further fluffed by cherry and raspberry notes, while the leather aspect is warmed by honey, saffron and labdanum.

This composition is 24% parfum concentration, with 70% natural ingredients. Capped in Mexican Riviera Gray marble in a delicately etched glass bottle.

A secret garden of endless summer, evoked by the luminous opening of blackcurrant and apricot jam, brightened by bergamot and tempered by davana. A floral heart of honeysuckle and rose glow in shades of gold. Night-blooming jasmine, harvested at the summer solstice at its most fragrant, infuses the composition. Muguet, created with headspace technology, lends a dewy, delicate facet. The fragrance settles into a luxurious base of benzoin, cedarwood, vanilla, and Spanish honey, mirroring the glowing amber warmth of the lingering sun.
