Absolue orange blossom

The flowers of the orange tree have a very intense fragrance and are therefore one of the most important raw materials for perfumers in Grasse. In this summery, fruity-sweet eau de toilette, the absolute of orange blossom and aromas of tiare blossom lend the delicate floral, fresh heart note. The citrusy notes of tangerine form the opening. In the base, sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla lend warm aromas.

Panier des Sens created their first perfumes in Sault, a small village in the Vaucluse region, surrounded by lush lavender fields – some claim they are the most beautiful in Provence. The Mediterranean Sea, landscape, and flora contribute to the family-owned company’s inspiration for creating fragrances. The scents are fresh creations of uncomplicated and light character, made from natural extracts and essential oils sourced from the region. The formulations come from Perfumers in Grasse, and Panier des Sens produces its scents in the tradition-steeped town near the French Riviera according to the classical artistry of perfumery.

Panier des Sens uses highly concentrated, precious elixirs for its absolutes. The perfumers initiate an extracting process with the help of a solvent and obtain the delicate liquid from plants and flowers – a perfume-making process that is as old as the art of perfumery itself. To do this, in a first step, they macerate the plants’ parts, blossoms or seeds. The result is a solid concretion, which is then melted and dissolved in alcohol so that the perfumers can separate insoluble substances from the pigments and essences such as essential oils in the solution. Finally, they distil the alcohol, and what remains is a rich, all-natural, fragrant essence. These essences give Panier des Sens’ eau de toilettes their intense, long-lasting scents.
