Tournesol Noir

The scent The artist Try a sample first!  Tournesol. The French word for sunflower deriving from the way flowers turn to track the movement of the sun during the day. Add in “noir” and this black sunflower is a modern interpretation of a ‘classical’ style fresh-fougere that stands apart from his golden siblings. This impossible bloom, its face a disc of midnight velvet petals drinking in the very light it refuses to reflect. Where others turn to the sun like faithful worshippers, it holds a dark gaze, elsewhere. Black petals in this earthy yet lush drydown giving off deep and burnished-purple hues, the color of ink spilled across old paper. The Tournesol Noir is the question the garden did not know it was asking: what grows in a soul that has learned to love the dark?   Notes include bergamot, armoise, french lavender, fern, acacia, mimosa, sunflower, ruh khus, oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, and musk.
