In 2017, when the gourmand scents were not even a topic of the day, perfumer Alienor Massenet had a vision, and she nicely delivered One Umbrella For Two for Floraiku, creating a combination that initiates with a profound and inviting gourmand scent. It’s a type of fragrance that makes you think about it, even if you’re not a gourmand lover.
The perfume unfolds with a bold scent of puffed rice, perfectly mingled with black currant and a sheer floral patch of cyclamen that ends up in a photorealistic fresh-baked blueberry muffin. A type of gourmand intro that isn’t sweet. It is glossy and posh, and it attracts attention effortlessly.
This intriguing opening gets its support from a delicate, slightly smoky genmaicha tea at the back, which Ms. Massenet is expert at. Settling on a sublime cedar and purifying white musk, the perfume confers a tranquility and romance at once, like no other perfume. The fragrance takes inspiration from the Aiai-gasa tradition in which women forget their umbrellas in order to be courted. An unspeakable romance underneath an umbrella shared by two.
The perfume lingers on the skin with a breathtaking combination of a few notes, measuredly blended, just like a haiku that expresses deep emotions in brevity. However, the longevity and sillage are, in contrast, like a novel by Tolstoy! Long and satisfying.
One Umbrella For Two is a statement perfume, first because it’s almost like no other one and then for its perfect performance on the skin and attire.
