La Pluie conjures the inky blue-black of clouds heavy with rain & the heightened sense of expectancy before a thunderstorm, this fragrance is richly suggestive of tropical showers & the balmy climate of a far away isl&. Top notes of bergamot Italy, tangerine, lavender & a hint of blé absolute (wheat) refresh the heart of wet, white flowers. The centrepiece is a tropical accord of ylang ylang absolute from the Comoro islands, framed by Egyptian cassie absolute, jasmine absolute & Tunisian Orange flowers. The warm & sensual base is finally revealed with vetiver bourbon & vanilla bourbon which take their name from their country of origin, the Ile de Bourbon, an old, forgotten name for the Island of Réunion.
