Lesquendieu, a hand blown and crafted bottle by a master French glassmaker, delicately insert by hand into a custom made box with a production of only about 1,000 to 1,500 bottles of each fragrance in each year, the rarity can almost synonymous as a bottle of remarkable vintage wine. Each unisex fragrance bares a distinctive and beautiful story behind, no matter it is the unexpected olfactive signature of ‘Glorilis’, with its powerful base note of Vetiver, incense and cedar that embellished by the majestic floral note including Rose, Labdanum and Geranium, or an exhilarating explosion from ‘Bonne Fortune’, with its refreshing and fruity note such as Mandarin, Grapefruit and Bergamot with a modest touch of Ginger, giving a masculine finishing with Gaiac wood, Tonka bean and Cedar. For those who interested with both sweet and bold, ‘Lesquendieu’ would possibly be an ideal pick with its soft Bergamot and Jasmin Tea scent that mingles with leathery notes, in such an harmonious way that brings out the sensuality and mystery at the same time.
