Powdery and peppery, silky and spicy – ‘Oeillet Louis XV’ plays pleasantly with its contradictions. Reminiscent of times long past, the powdery notes dissipate, giving way to powerful notes of clove. A tribute to the beloved French king Louis XV, who witnessed the birth of the House of Oriza and became its most famous customer.
White carnation is at the heart of this fragrance, giving it its ambivalence. The symbol of true love in the monarchy, it also embodies the fire of the French Revolution. As a fragrance, white carnation is as intoxicating as the most delicate poison; a delicious combination of mandarin, regal iris and slightly woody accords, which in turn cannot resist the strength of pepper and clove. Pink carnation adds a bitter note as a symbol of Mary's pain. Legend has it that the flower sprang from where Mary's tears fell when she saw Jesus carrying the cross.
Both olfactory and symbolic contrasts best describe ‘Oeillet Louis XV’, an incomparable and elegant perfume that surprises again and again.
Each Eau de Parfum by Oriza L. Legrand comes in a pour bottle with a separate atomiser and cap. The perfume is elaborately packaged and wrapped in decorative paper that reflects the elegant design and style of the bottle.
