Ella K Camelia K

AN ODE TO TEMPTATION The powerful union of ginger, dragon fruit and blood orange invites us to push open the doors to a luscious paradise. Created around an intense floral heart of red camellia, Sambac jasmine and orange blossom, this creation is an ode to temptation, immortalised by the sensuality of vanilla, vetiver and patchouli. Camelia K is an ode to temptation inspired by Wong Kar-Wai's film In the Mood for Love. I wanted to express the feeling of repressed desire, the heat of bodies that are consumed without ever being able to find each other, which is perfectly described in this film. Like Alexandre Dumas Fils in his book La Dame aux camélias, I was inspired by the Camellia japonica flower I discovered on a trip to Sapa in northern Vietnam.
