About the Perfume:
A fragrance entirely ones own, clean, crisp, but also warm. An endless source of reassurance. The transparency of water bonds with the softness of white heliotrope, iris and honey for the gentlest composition imaginable. Jean-Claude Ellena set out to create the first Eau Chaude, pushing his understated, minimalist style beyond traditional boundaries. Here, he fuses the two extremes of the olfactive spectrum into a mellow, fragile fragrance of a new kind.
About the Perfumer:
Born into a family of perfumers from Grasse, Jean-Claude Ellena was introduced to the art of developing fragrances as a teenager. Self-taught, he defines his creations as a "poetry of memory." Everyday smells, wax floors, clean sheets, skin, an old sweater—are his greatest inspiration. Jean Claude Ellena never raises his voice, although he is heard loud and clear. His signature is simple, minimalist and modern. His style is often compared to watercolors or chamber music.
Les Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle was founded in 2000 as a result of Frédéric Malle's determination to revive perfumery and restore its former glory. Driven by the desire to elevate the greatest perfumers to the pinnacle of their art, he grants them complete freedom in creation, providing them with exceptional raw materials and imposing no time, budget, or marketing constraints. With over thirty years of experience in the world of perfume, Frédéric Malle is now regarded as the foremost expert in perfumery. Unconventional and an aesthete defying classification, he offers artists the opportunity to stand out, encouraging them to develop their own idiom and celebrating their creativity. Thus, each collaboration gives birth to a masterpiece - a perfume whose creator is proud enough to sign it with their name, for the first time ever.
