New! Narcissus Poeticus Natural Perfume, Vintage 2

New batch of limited edition Narcissus Poeticus!

Narcissus Poeticus takes its name from rare, spring-blooming jonquil flowers. A romantic blend of French violets, kumquat, mandarin, osmanthus flower, boronia, and iris bulb, Narcissus Poeticus was one of my most popular limited editions. It was so popular that I sold out years ago. One of my longtime customers has been begging me to create  another batch, and this spring I obliged. It’s been aging for months now.

This blend captures the romance of the first blooms of spring, weaving rare spring-blooming jonquille (Narcissus poeticus) and French violets with a new addition of Portuguese kumquats! Osmanthus from the valley of osmanthus in China and orris imbue this perfume with spring’s promise of the future as the earth comes to life once more.

Oh, how I adore the quiet time I spend in the Purrfumery, mixing and testing, inhaling deeply! I’m delighted to share the second limited edition of Narcissus Poeticus, available as a parfum only in exquisite crystal Verreries Brosse French flacons and tucked into a dupioni silk pouch with vintage velvet flowers. The finishing touch is a Victorian scent card that captures the spirit of a time when even the advertisements were little works of art.

Narcissus Poeticus is set in a rich base of rare sandalwoods, including Tamil Nadu from India. Purchased by the perfumer nearly 25 years ago, Tamil Nadu is known for its exquisite warmth and a terroir that will never be available again. 

This is a true scent of spring and rejuvenation. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Available in 8 and 15 ml bottles. 

Notes: Jonquille, French violets, black currant bud, Portugese kumquat, mandarin, osmanthus, orris butter, Tamil Nadu sandalwood.

Laurie's feeling notes: This is a verdant green scent and makes me feel hopeful, calm, and serene.
