Camille Goutal and Isabelle Doyen were working on
a fragrance inspired by the legendary garden of the Hesperides, an
enchanting landscape of bitter orange and lemon trees, cypresses
and fig trees drawing their sustenance from a crisp green, fertile soil
and a glinting stream.
When they learned of the existence of a garden
mirroring their description in every way, they immediately
departed for the gardens of Ninfa, near Rome.
They found a safeguarded Eden, in which medieval ruins crowned
in emerald green and all of the plants that had fired the imagination
of the two perfumers can still be found. Through the garden flows
the Ninfeo river and there, in the shade of a pine tree, they were
overwhelmed by a shared emotion: their perfume was right
there, in the air, intense around them. Ninfeo Mio.

A sparkling composition. Eau d'Hadrien is a fresh, citrus fragrance in which Sicilian lemons and grapefruits, ripened under the Italian sun, blend harmoniously with the subtle notes of cypress. A best seller for 25 years!

An invitation to a magical journey. Inspired by a romantic trip to the Island of Mauritius, Songes is a timeless fragrance that epitomises sensuality and femininity. An intoxicating blend of the essences of frangipani, jasmine, and gardenia bring back memories of voyages to the four corners of the world.
