It was cold in Paris on that October day in 1975 when Philippe received a handwritten note from Mischa Barinov in St. Petersburg: an invitation to view a rare, privately owned collection of antiques. He left by train that same evening. Two days later, he arrived at the study of a mansion on the Griboyedov Canal. He settled into a Louis XIV bergère chair next to the fireplace and was enveloped by the scents of old leather-bound books, the crackling fire and the steam rising from a spectacular samovar. Mischa appeared in the doorway. ‘Thank you for coming. I think you will see that your journey was worth it. But first, tea...’ And then, noticing Philippe's obvious fascination with the samovar: ’Tombac bronze, circa 1775.’
We travel to escape the ordinary. And of all the impressions we take away from our travels, it is our sense of smell that leaves the strongest impression on our memory. Scents have the power to transport us instantly to a specific place, recapture a mood... or even seduce us with sensual hints of new adventures. L'Objet presents a collection of aromatic fragrances made from natural oils and essences that are blended and bottled by hand. Experience Parfums de Voyage. The essence of discovery.
