The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2019 by Penhaligon's and crafted by perfumer Christophe Raynaud, The Ingénue Cousin Flora is a modern interpretation of classic elegance. This Citrus Aromatic fragrance opens with vibrant citruses that immediately bring to mind the freshness of early morning dew on leaves. As it settles into its musky heart and ambroxan base, the scent evolves from bright clarity to a warm, enveloping comfort — much like the transition from a brisk walk to a cozy embrace.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays in the morning for optimal wear. The citruses are bright and fleeting, so ensure they have time to meld with your skin before heading out. As the musk and ambroxan base notes emerge, this fragrance will provide a warm and comforting presence throughout the day.

Christophe Raynaud

Architect first, craftsman second

Christophe Raynaud is a perfumer who describes himself as a craftsman with the sensitivity of an artist. He begins each fragrance with a raw olfactory block, working for hours to shape it as a sculptor would — first as architect, then as craftsman.

“At first, I am the architect, and then I become the craftsman.”
