Quelques Fleurs was composed by Robert Bienaime in 1912. This was special for the time because it was not an easily recognizable solifleur perfume, but a perfume in which a great many flowers were incorporated into an abstract composition.
The perfume opens with a floral bouquet of orange blossom, carnation, iris, jasmine, lily of the valley, orchid, rose, tuberose, ylang-ylang, heliotrope, and an original green accord of tarragon.
The Fragrance Guru: “One of the classics you must have smelled.”
A little fact: Quelques Fleurs was Princess Diana’s “signature scent” and she even wore it at her wedding to Prince Charles!
