History
Quelques Fleurs is one of the most famous classical fragrances ever. Created by Parfumeur Bienaimé in 1912, Quelques Fleurs was the first multi-floral bouquet in the hisroty of perfumery. Before that, floral perfumes included just one tone: they were solely based one one type of flower, at best enhanced with aromatic herbs. What makes Quelques Fleurs unique is not only the flowers, but also the singular way of combining them to create a perfectly balanced accord. In the genealogy of fragrances, Quelques Fleurs is referred to an innovation that brought about a new classification of perfumes and influenced in the following years other compositions, some of them very well known today.

ROSEMARIE, yes, the initial formulation from 1912 has changed because of the restrictions of EU on some material raws.

Unique and covet-worthy flacon. Does this still have the same formulation as 1912? I know the EU has put some restrictions on raw materials. Nevertheless, 250 raw materials is so impressive. the most I've ever done was around 50. Of course, I am limited as to what oils the market will sell me. Tester for certain.
