Introducing: No. 12 Bousval
Every day is one day closer to spring weather and flowers and sunshine and…
Add the newest scent from Maison Louis Marie to that list of things we can look forward to this spring!
Introducing no. 12 bousval
“Bousval is named after our mother’s hometown: there, she’d walk her four collies during warm summer evenings, spending most of her time camping outside, catching fish, and picking fresh vegetables at the pond next to her home.
Inspired by her enchanted summers, this scent has nuances of Valencia Oranges joined with Italian Bergamot and bold White Cardamom. A signature heart of Ginger Flower is complimented with Eucalyptus and earthy notes of Oakmoss. Undertones of rich, sultry woods add to misted Musk for a modern aroma.”
Top note: Bergamot, Cardamom, Valencia Orange
Mid note: Heliotrope Flower, White Ginger, Petitgrain
Base note: Gilded Amber, Cedar Noir, Myrrh
And we love the story behind the brand…
The line draws from a 200-year-old floral tradition begun by French botanical pioneer Loui Marie Aubert du Petit Thouars. During the French revolution, Louis Marie was exiled to Madagascar, La Reunion and the Mauritius Islands where he discovered a vast array of plant specimens. When he was finally able to return to France decades later, he brought with him a collection of over 2,000 plants.
Today, Maison Louis Marie founder Marie du Petit Thouars continues to celebrate her family’s history through a collection of candles, perfumes, and skin care that draws from the floral scents she first began to discover in her mother’s greenhouse.
Just lovely. ❥
No. 12 Bousval is available at the shop in a candle and an Eau de Parfum.
