29.1 À L’HEURE DES CATLEYAS Eau de Parfum

In Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, cattleya orchids become a metaphor for love and intimacy. À l’Heure des Catleyas carries that theme of memory and sensuality into a summer afternoon: sun-warmed skin, still damp from swimming, mingles with tropical flowers.

A bright citrus opening gives way to a rich combination of cattleya, tiare flowers and sugi wood. The flowers retain a sunny, sensual character, continued in the base notes by tonka bean, a warm-sand accord and musk. Freshness introduces a softer impression of flowers and warm skin.

Tropical flowers and warm sand create a sense of summer intimacy, softened by musk and tonka. The Proustian inspiration lies in this personal atmosphere: a floral scent that recalls a moment you want to remember. Its appeal goes beyond a sunlit landscape to the closeness of flowers and skin.
