ānti
le jardinier
The morning after Marie-Antoinette’s big party - the royal gardener tends to the flowers and the aftermath in the Petit Trianon. ānti depicts the scent of ingénue lilies bathing in champagne buckets, and the sharpness of freshly-cut grass. An ode to the care-free decadence, and evanescent memories of last night’s soirée.
“Working with green notes requires delicacy, as they can quickly turn too aggressive. I had to surround them within an entire floral ensemble that I wanted very spring-like. Magnolia essence proves perfect for this - fresh and luminous. It shares with honeysuckle a gentle floral note that oscillates between bergamot, lavender, and basil. The other challenge with green lies in making it persist throughout the perfume’s entire evolution. Here, I extended the lentisk’s green note with galbanum resinoid and especially a nettle absolute that recently joined my palette. Its intense, vegetal note gives this perfume its unique signature trail” - Marc Antoine Corticchiato
