Inspired by the emotions she felt when reading Marguerite Yourcenar's novel Les Memoires d'Hadrien about the Emperor Hadrien, Annick wanted to recreate the feeling of happiness and satifaction she experienced when reading this story. She created a classic citrus fragrance, full of confidence and harmony.
Annick was inspired to create this fragrance after reading a novel by the French author Marguerite Yourcenar, called “The Memoirs of Hadrien”. Have you ever read a book, so good, that you didn’t want to put it down? This joyful, happy scent full of well-being is a direct expression of how Annick felt when reading about the character Hadrien in Yourcenar’s story. The scent is a tonic: zesty, sparkling, refined, fresh and subtle all at the same time!
Galbanum is an aromatic gum resin, the product of a Persian umbellifer plant species. It is one of the oldest perfumery ingredients. The Book of Exodus 30:34 mentions it being used in the making of a perfume for the Tabernacle. Steam distilled, it yeilds a green, fruity floral odor reminiscent of green apple.
