Comme Des Garcones – Floriental – “Floriental is a distrupted floral fragrance that challenges the traditions of perfumery to reimagine a flower that has no scent. A creative collision that blurs the line between the floral and the oriental to create something completely new”
Unlike the majority of perfume that prides itself on its middle, base and top scents. Floriental redefines the rules and creates a mysterious scent. The creative confusion that comes within the perfume is something that breaks down the rules of formal perfumery. This is done using a flower such as a citrus flower, that has no scent. This creates an oriental signature, combining this with a vetiver woody essence, pink pepper and plumb liqueur all give life to the odourless flower. All of this results in a scent that doesn’t just reshape what it is to be a perfume ,but creates an addictive smell that is extravagant.
