Occasion:
A sultry portrait of the sea - an intoxicating solar breath infused with salinity: sun-burnt, sweaty, salty skin. A knockout signature, and glorious for the daytime.

Francesca’s Inspiration:
“During my childhood and teenage years I used to spend lots of time at the seaside. One of the strongest memories of that time is the smell of my skin. Eventually my parents sold the house at the seaside, and university, work, boyfriends, brought me far from that memory. Five years ago I moved to the Netherlands and I forgot the smell of my sweaty, salty skin. Sometimes back I bumped into a face cream of L’Occitane containing Immortelle. The odour of that plant was actually not so pungent in the cream, nonetheless it was strongly pulling out of my head the childhood memory of my skin. I confess I had totally neglected the essential oil of helichrysum which was sitting on my shelf.  But now I smelled it again, with a new nose.  I worked on a special amber accord, I would say — a  human one. A civet tincture reinforced this intimate atmosphere, while a special ambergris molecule added the mineral-salty touch.”
