Pavillon Des Fleurs is a new perfume from a Philadelphia area designer of pleasure gardens. I had the pleasure of meeting Jean of Septimanie, and she was very sweet.
A lot of thought clearly went into this fragrance, from the scent to the price point.( She noted that she wanted to make a price point that wouldn't put off the men who may buy for their SO, but at the same time be in the right range for a niche scent without going too extreme.)
It's a very jasmine scent , very floral, all lady. It's not hard to see that one who loves and creates gardens had a hand in it. In the beginning you get such a burst of the jasmine, and some lily but after you reach the drydown it becomes a soft floral, with hints of the sandlewood coming out.
From the website :
"Luminous and supremely sensual, Pavillon des Fleurs is a radiant bouquet of white flowers. Laden with Egyptian jasmine and velvety ylang-ylang from the Comores Islands and refined with ethereal notes of lily of the valley and orange blossom, this timeless composition is elegantly rounded off with sophisticated notes of iris, English leather, and a delicate hint of cloves."
The composition she notes "resembles a garden in full bloom". Not much could be better than that.
