The Los Angeles story
“With this fragrance I wanted to evoke a sultry, shimmering Hollywood. Homes hanging on to the dry earth hillsides, eucalyptus and clary sage, a breeze from the Pacific Ocean.
I wanted to conjure up the whoosh of cars. Hot tarmac under the Californian sun, the rubber of limousine wheels cruising along Sunset Blvd. Red tail lights. Fruit smoothies and post-gym selfies. Tiki bars and pineapple cocktails. Neon lights. Pink sunsets. Dry ice and disco lights.”
The Perfume Notes:
Our award-winning Los Angeles is a neon floral fragrance
Sultry, smoky, woody and cooled by a marine breeze.
Top: Airy and aromatic in the opening with notes of eucalyptus, clary sage, mandarin and pineapple
Mid: A floral heart with an absolute of narcissus and tuberose – a nod to the Mexican flavour of this city
Base: And a shimmering smoky woody drydown with cade, guaiac wood, palo santo, nagarmotha/cypriol, musks and heliotrope
Meet the maker
Adds Nick "Karine and I worked for four years on the creation of this perfume. That's what we mean by #slowperfume - the true luxury of time - and I think winning the big award for 'Best Niche Fragrance Globally' confirms that it was worth the wait!"
Parisian Karine Chevallier has more than two decades of experience as a perfumer, including at Guerlain. She's the creator of Berlin, Buenos Aires, the much-loved Istanbul, Art & Olfaction Awards Finalist London, and this award-winning 'Best Niche Fragrance.'
