Flower Lust – Extrait de Parfum

D'ORSAY is a Paris fragrance house named after the dandy Alfred d'Orsay. Flower Lust as an Extrait de Parfum is its elixir of love – a floral that celebrates excess.

Flower Lust smells of orange blossom and ylang-ylang, lavish, creamy and a little intoxicating. Pink and black pepper give the opening a dry bite, and beneath them benzoin, sandalwood, tonka bean, patchouli and vetiver carry the blossoms into a warm, woody-balsamic ground.

Flower Lust suits evenings when a little too much is perfectly fine – restaurant, theatre, long tables. As an extrait it is dense and long-lasting; a scent for all year round, fullest in winter.

What makes Flower Lust special to us is its courage to be lavish without turning heavy: the pepper keeps the flowers awake, and the wood gives them posture. A floral for people who usually associate flowers with restraint.
