The Story

Hugo Lambert created Villa Lympia for Oriza L. Legrand in 2016, a fragrance that captures the essence of a coastal retreat with its blend of herbal and marine notes. The composition opens with pine tree needles and sea water, evoking the freshness of seaside air. Mimosa and immortelle add a sweet, floral warmth, while seaweed and sea salt bring an earthy salinity to the heart. A warm spicy base of tobacco and leather rounds out the scent, grounding it in a sophisticated complexity.

Application Tips

Villa Lympia’s top notes are bright but fleeting, so aim for two generous sprays to ensure the aromatic heart and warm base linger. The leather and tobacco base notes develop slowly on skin, making this fragrance ideal for a day that transitions into evening.
