A flower that blooms when all seems lost. Une Amande by Obvious Parfums is now here! A celebration of love that endures absence, of beauty born from faithfulness, and of the flower that blooms when all seems lost.
Une Amande is a parenthesis of softness, a silken cocoon from which one would never wish to escape. At the heart of the composition reigns bitter almond, creamy, sensual and infinitely enveloping. Around it, white musks settle with the delicacy of a second skin, diffusing that discreet light which gives a fragrance the feeling of having always belonged to the one who wears it.
A breath of white flowers lifts the whole, airy and peaceful, instilling a silent elegance that seems to suspend time. Then warmth slowly emerges from the depths. Vanilla reveals its softest, most powdery facet, drawing each note into an embrace as comforting as it is irresistible. Une Amande embodies a discreet luxury. One that never seeks to show itself, yet is worn as naturally as a second skin.
The myth
Mythology tells the story of Phyllis's lost love for Démophon, who departed forever from his beloved. Moved by the sorrow of this lost love, the gods decided to transform Phyllis into an almond tree. Démophon, upon learning of his lover's fate, returned and embraced the tree so tightly that it burst into bloom immediately.
