Shalini Fleur Japonais by Symrise Master Perfumer Maurice Roucel
A cloud of cherry blossoms; The temple bell-
Is it Ueno, is it Asakusa?
How many, many things They call to mind These cherry-blossoms!
Very brief –
Gleam of blossoms in the treetops On a moonlit night.
A lovely spring night suddenly vanished while we viewed cherry blossoms …
Basho Matsuo
Fleur Japonais is inspired by the revered Cherry blossoms of Japan. The “Sakura” season is a celebration of life as the pink flowers embrace the temples of Kyoto.
The parfum is a heavenly composition of ephemeral Cherry blossoms, intoxicating Magnolia flowers, Frankincense, Labdanum and Sandalwood.
The Cherry blossoms “Sakura” symbolize Spring, a time of renewal, of joy and celebration.
In Japanese culture there is an association between the Sakura and the Samurai – the flower and the man. They are both admired for their fleeting beautiful lives. It is believed that the soul of the Samurai lives in the Sakura.
The delicate pink flowers are part of the Buddhist themes of mindfulness and living in the present. A timeless metaphor for human existence.
We yearn for an understanding of our journey, our destiny and our life. A sense of peacefulness prevails in that understanding. Fleur Japonais parfum is sensual, transcendent, and heavenly.
Following the Sakura all over Japan is a cherished dream of mine… moving from town to town as the flowering season of Cherry blossoms continues for the few weeks. Clouds of pink caressing your face. The delicate fragrance of Cherry blossoms scents the air. The temple bells chime softly as the soft scent of the fragrance floats like pink petals caressing the earth.
Magnolia flowers bring a nobility and dignity to the parfum. The violet pink of the flower complimenting the pink of Sakura.
Frankincense is the purest incense, considered to be more valuable than gold in biblical times. The smoke scents the air of temples and churches,
Labdanum creates an amber, leathery note in the parfum. The smoke of this resin is reminiscent of ceremonies in Egypt.
Sandalwood, the most sacred of woods is floral, woody, and balsamic. It creates a feeling of relaxation and positive energy.
Fleur Japonais reaches for the heavens as the pink flowers merge with the ethereal smoke from the woods and resins.
