Top notes: bergamot watermelon blackcurrant Middle notes: calone green alga Base notes: sandalwood musk Elise Benat was born and raised in the Mediterranean, South of France. She still remembers with admiration the aromas of maquis, myrtle and salt. As a teenager, Elise Benat traveled to exotic corners of the planet and this was to later impact on her future work and lead to the creation of the most delicate and surprising aromas. When she attended her first smell training course, while studying chemistry, it was a real eye-opener for her. From that moment, the determined young lady firmly decided on her future. Her dream came true when she joined the Firmenich team. Elise Benat likes reading. She also finds inspiration in art. She enjoys the emotions she get when she succeeds in translating words into aromas. The view that you imagine when you hear the words "blue waterfall" is so vivid and relaxing. There seems to be nothing else to add to this image to make it more perfect. If there is anything to add to this heavenly picture, it is a mountain landscape, a place where the azure foamy water rushes down from a steep slope, shimmering under the lazy sun. That is the image Marie Salamange had in mind when creating the “BLUE WATERFALL” fragrance. “BLUE WATERFALL” is a woody fragrant composition for men and women. It takes you to the tropics where both your mind and body relax and where you forget about stress. The bouquet is fresh and bright, yet discreet and soft thanks to the skilful selection of natural ingredients. A spicy green bergamot top note merged with the watery sweetness of watermelon and the faintly balsamic aroma of black currant form a beautiful top accord. Mysterious Calone, slightly earthy notes of seaweed and the characteristic thick scent of green grass sparkle in the heart of the fragrance pyramid. The base accord consists of only two notes: musk and tender sandalwood. The fragrance gives every impression of a deep breath of air with tiny water particles and herbaceous undertones of mountain herbs thriving exuberantly close to water. The composition is so light, cool and atmospheric that you will wish the fragrance to last forever. It wears beautifully both on male and female skin. Perfumer: Marie Salamagne Each step on Marie’s path has led her in the right direction. She gained independence and blossomed from the very beginning. She still finds satisfaction in her career till date. Marie believes that a true perfumer personifies an artisan and an artist. "A good perfume acts like madeleine de Proust. It brings uncontrollable and powerful emotions. This is the essence of itself". Marie is constantly in search of this magic. Her creative process is divided into parts. She has a ritual – she closes the door, collects her notepads and thinks. She is left alone with her notes. Each notepad has a different purpose – the largest notepads are for composing scents with ingredients. In other notepads, natural tones are explored, and in the last notepads, she records her general vision of scents. The interrelationship between materials and color fascinates her. She renders her creations as pictures on which shades create contrasts. Each step on Marie’s path has led her in the right direction. She gained independence and blossomed from the very beginning.
