Lumen_esce Natural Spray

Capturing the scent of violets in a laboratory was one of the first triumphs of fragrance chemistry, and ever since, ionones have been fundamental to perfumery. Violettyne ® is the 21st century answer to their wistful, powdery scent: an ethereal, bright violet with a metallic vibrancy, edged with a luminescent green. Patented in 2000 by Firmenich, the groundbreaking 'captured' molecule transforms scent into light with lumen_esce.

It is the color of majesty and mystery. Of mysticism and magic. Of inspiration and harmony…Associated for decades with the most advanced stages, violet is also the highest frequency of visible light. In lumen_esce *, Frank Voelkl plays on both meanings of the word; by expressing the radiance of the color and by exploring the full spectrum of the flower's fragrance. 

Boosted by cool-as-cucumber and the essence of violet leaves, sizzling Violettyne ® surges from flower to root. Petals shake. Flowers spread fragrant powder on a spring bouquet (freesia, jasmine, iris and rose). Patchouli Prisma - a high-tech ingredient, distilled and recombined to enhance its woody warmth - casts black light on the radiant bouquet.

*Named after Lumen, the unit of measurement for light.
