From Grasse Meadows to Your Bottle

A flower so fragrant, ancient poets gave it their name.

- Narcissus poeticus has been celebrated since antiquity, woven into Greek myth and Roman garlands as a symbol of beauty and reverie.

- The finest absolute comes from the Lozère plateaus and meadows around Grasse, where blossoms are hand-harvested at dawn during a brief spring window.

- It takes nearly one tonne of fresh flowers to yield just a few hundred grams of absolute — making narcissus one of perfumery's most precious treasures.

SAFETY
