Fleur de Foudre

Fleur de Foudre by Pierre Guillaume Paris is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance for women and men. Fleur de Foudre was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Pierre Guillaume. The fragrance features Champaca, Vetiver, Black Tea, Pepper, Musk and Cashmeran. The perfume was launched by name Foudre, but soon renamed to Fleur de Foudre. The initial idea, simple and beautiful, was to capture the particular scent champaca flowers gives off just before a storm… To achieve this effect, a very special ingredient was needed. One that came as close as possible to the flower, a close relative of magnolia, and that could evoke the utter delicacy of its fresh, floral, slightly fruity facets. An outstanding essence of white champaca blossom, obtained through low-temperature fractional distillation with its natural waxes removed, carries us off to Réunion Island. The electric, ozone-laced air just before the storm is conjured with vetiver, pepper and Aldemone©, a synthetic molecule that smells of wide-open spaces after a rainfall. A selection of silky, purring musks adds velvety smoothness to a base dominated by black tea absolute and Cashmeran. With Fleur de Foudre (“Flower of Lightning”), Pierre Guillaume has created a textural, highly narrative woody floral: a wearable atmosphere.
