L’Horloge de Flore, every hour, a flower! Inspired by botanist Carl Von Linné's floral clock, which organized the flowers on a dial according to their opening and closing times (called the nyctinasty), the range consists of twelve fragrances corresponding to twelve hours.
Each fragrance is a fragrant interpretation of a flower at its olfactory paroxysm – when it exhales its best fragrance.
These are non gendered fragrances that can be worn by both women and men, although each one has its own character! A couple can match with their fragrances...
L'Horloge de Flore is a French niche perfume brand created in 2022 by the perfumer Hélène Prévot. Passionate about nature, she discovers one day the nyctinasty: the opening and closing movement of flowers according to the hours of the day and night.
This phenomenon is illustrated in the 18th century by the botanist Carl von Linné through the Floral Clock. A clock made up of flowers that open at specific times, allowing to indicate the time. Hélène then had the idea of creating her own Floral Clock by composing the perfumed interpretations of 12 flowers. The story only begins.
Hélène Prévot has worked as a perfumer for a number of fragrance houses for many years, and is a passionate perfume designer. Her desire for independence and direct exchanges with customers led her to found her own company in 2014. HF Perfumes was born. Having become a freelance perfume designer for numerous fragrance brands and often under confidentiality contracts, her desire to be able to reveal her expertise to the public never ceased to grow. After several years of reflection and hard work, Hélène finally realized one of her dearest dreams: to launch her own range of perfumes.
"At Scentissime, we love brands created by perfumers. There lies the very essence of niche perfumery, where the quality of raw materials and inspiration are central to the process. An example of this is L'Horloge de Flore, where perfumer Hélène Prévot creates fragrances that capture the scent of flowers at the time of day when they express the quintessence of their fragrance. L'Horloge de Flore is for those who are looking for love at first sniff, without artifice or subterfuge."
L'Horloge de Flore, a flower for every hour! Inspired by the flowers on botanist Linnaeus's clock and the dial that punctuates our days, L'Horloge de Flore is a fragrant interpretation of flowers at their olfactory peak, the moment when they exhale their beautiful fragrance, day or night. This precious moment is called nyctinasty. L'Horloge de Flore, an artisanal perfume house, has a poetic vision of perfumery, supported by lyrical names and pictorial works illustrating the most beautiful ingredients of perfumery, punctuated by expressions of the French language related to the passing of time, an intrinsic concept of L'Horloge de Flore.
