The boutique is the perfect urban setting for the Maison's creations, as well as a refuge from the hustle and bustle of Parisian life. I envisioned a fragrance in its image, both intimate, inviting one to reconnect with oneself, and luminous, open to the outside world. 312 Saint-Honoré is a sensual and mineral musk, a fragrance for oneself, a skin scent, carnal yet very vertical, where I make liberal use of ambery woody notes. Sensuality also expresses how I experience Paris. The vibrant pink peppercorn and its leaf, with its peppery, almost incense-like undertone, illuminate the opening of the fragrance and are a nod to the brilliance of the glass that adorns the boutique.
