The story behind the bottle.
Pois de Senteur Parfum by Caron, launched in 1927 and crafted by Ernest Daltroff, is a floral masterpiece that captures the essence of classic French elegance. Opening with cyclamen and hyacinth, it introduces a fresh green note before transitioning into a heart of rose, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley, creating a delicate bouquet that feels both lasting and refined. The powdery musk and woody base notes ground this composition, offering warmth and depth to the floral harmony.
Apply a single spritz to the pulse points; this parfum is potent enough that it will develop on skin over time without needing additional layers. Best for cooler evenings when its powdery warmth can fully envelop you.
