On the slopes of Monte Rosa is where this ode to passion is
born, evoked by black vanilla orchid, combined with oleander and magnolia. This
sensory delight begins with a luxurious touch of marshmallow, saffron and small
grain, before transporting us to the sequoias on the shores of Lake Como with
woody notes of incense that are reminiscent of ancient churches.
For Orchid K, I wanted to create a fragrance around this
black vanilla orchid discovered in Monte Rosa in Italy, which I associated with
the flowers surrounding Lake Como, the magnolias, jasmines and oleanders of
wild roses... I added the traditional luxurious notes of vanilla cannoli and
marshmallows served like a cloud at the tip of a skewer during our romantic
dinners. Then, I sealed the fragrance with the woody, majestic notes of the
centuries-old sequoias lining the shores, and wisps of incense escaping from
the heavy doors of nearby churches.
