Each year, Patricia de Nicolaï releases a new and exclusive limited edition. This year, we are proud to announce that we are one of the few worldwide to present her new perfume Fleur d'Oranger: an elegant soliflore that captures every aspect of the orange tree: bright flowers, fresh green leaves, soft wood, and sparkling zest. Using advanced extraction techniques, the orange blossom reveals a rich, pure, and radiant scent.
The fragrance opens with a zesty burst of bitter orange and bergamot, before yielding to a solar floral heart of jasmine and neroli. The woody-musky base evokes the cushioned softness of a dormant orangery, just before the awakening of spring.
With a perfect balance of classic French elegance – Patricia's unmistakenable DNA – and sunny freshness, Fleur d’Oranger is a warm and inviting fragrance, celebrating the French art of living and the natural beauty of a royal garden. Inspired by the atmosphere of orangeries, where orange trees were kept sheltered from winter until the arrival of spring, Patricia captures the intensity of this concentrated fragrance: dense, vibrant, and bathed in light.
"This fragrance was born from a childhood memory: the precise moment when the doors of the orangerie finally opened
in spring. A wave of light and scent rushed over me, an intense, floral, and enveloping sensation. I wanted to capture that emotion." – Patricia de Nicolai
