The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2015, Fleur Burlesque by Vilhelm Parfumerie is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. The composition centers around gardenia and jasmine, which provide a lush white floral bouquet that meets the warmth of sandalwood and amber. This blend creates a sophisticated contrast between the freshness of florals and the richness of woody and ambery notes, making it a compelling choice for those who appreciate both elegance and depth.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly — its rich notes can be quite powerful. A light mist to the pulse points is enough for it to develop fully over time. It's best worn in cooler weather or indoors where its warmth and depth can truly shine.
