Les Senteurs Gourmandes - 'L’Eau d’Antan' Eau de Cologne - 250 ml
"To the citrus top notes, we mixed discreet notes of orange blossom for a suave and warm wink. We wanted to respect the essence of an Eau de Cologne with the fresh opening of Bergamot, Lemon, Orange and Rosemary.
Who else but Les Senteurs Gourmandes could revisit the authentic Eau de Cologne?
This refreshing fragrance is close to our traditional and generous universe. Our extra touch? It is the work of the cologne under a subtle gourmand angle. The result is a delicate and timeless creation. Among the four olfactory universes that are the source of our inspiration (Traditional Vanillas, Carnet de Voyage, Souvenirs d'Enfance, the Orchard), the Eau de Cologne Gourmande: "l'Eau d'Antan" has naturally imposed itself in the Souvenirs d'Enfance family.
An Eau with authentic notes for men and women. A light concentration allowing all the uses that have been attributed to it for generations: to delicately perfume your cupboards, your sheets and your little handkerchiefs. Give a freshness to your laundry by adding a few drops of eau de cologne in your washing machine or your iron... The most greedy can even perfume their bath water for a moment of relaxation and pure delight.
For nearly 4 centuries, we lend unique benefits to the Eau de Cologne: it disinfected and purified the food and the body. Its scent was known to invigorate the body and mind!
Several works evoke the original recipe of Eau de Cologne. But it was in 1788 that Jean-Marie Farina, a famous Italian perfumer, officially inherited its creation and became the owner of this water still called Eau de Cologne today. Star at the Court, Louis XV, Louis XVI and Napoleon were faithful users. Napoleon used to rub himself with Jean-Marie Farina's Eau de Cologne and believed in its virtues as a "whip" and cerebral stimulant. He carried it everywhere with him in bottles!
This Eau de Cologne is composed of 98% natural ingredients.
We select pure and high quality ingredients from the surrounding nature and natural vanilla extracts from Madagascar, Mexico or India. Combined with a 100% natural alcohol, guaranteed without phthalate to obtain compositions with sincere, authentic notes that come to life on the skin.
In the respect of the traditions, 21 days of maceration are necessary to allow the subtle alliance of fruits, spices, flowers and alcohol. This ageing under controlled temperature allows to obtain a balanced olfactory construction. Particular care is also given to the glazing and filtration stages which determine the stability and constancy of the compositions over time."
