Draw for the Flora Fragrance Pack!
My dear lovelies of the Passage,
I, Flora, goddess of Spring, bring you glad tidings! My time has come and I bring the gifts of new life, growth, and tender beauty.
Celebrate me with the flowers of my season: violet, iris, daffodil, lilac, mimosa. These beautiful scented blooms are harbingers and messengers sent to you—a treasure from me, perfumniche.com and Duchesse.
Even after my days have passed, when you wear the scent of these blooms on your wrist, you will always carry my spirit in your heart.
Six divine floral fragrances will come to you in 1ml decant size:
Iris de Nuit by Heeley
- Iris root, wood and Tuscan cypress; clean, sensual, delicate
Blanc Violette by Histoires des Parfums
- violet; soft and "achingly tender", deliciously subtle
Mon Numero 1 by L'Artisan Parfumeur
- A mimosa/pear accord over a musk base, shaded in soft greens; sheer and light
Ostara by Penhaligon's
- Daffodil and spring blooms with beeswax for a warm, honeyed depth
After My Own Heart by Ineke
- The experience of lilac: leaves, flowers and stems; romantic and evocative
Balenciaga Paris by Balenciaga
- Soft violet on an earthy-woody base; quietly elegant and sheer
(Follow links for more complete descriptions.)
Warmly,
Flora

We look forward to seeing you in N.S. The snowdrops are just starting.
Decants from perfumiche are so much fun. I ordered an awful lot a while ago but was able to experiment and share with friends. With my less than fancy life these days I am back to wearing Voyage by Hermes. Oh and pearls are your favourite but are the considered gemstones hmmmmmmm
Perfumeniche decants make an easy-to-carry gift. I recently gave a friend four decants of her favourite scent and two new ones to try.
It's not called Passage des Emeraudes is it? Must be pearls! ;)
Love those pearls, Duchesse, just as you do.
I remain,
Hopeful
The trillium and Pulmonaria are blooming on my woodland walk. I wish I could DRAW them, as well as the cherry blossoms on the pathway.
PEARLS, of course!
Pearls, of course.
I love love love fragrances and I truly love your blog for introducing me to the beauty of pearls and reworking old jewelry pieces.
Like you, my favourite gem is the peerless beauty that is the Pearl, my birthstone. The lustre lights up the face of all who wear them, illuminating and enhancing. Unlike all those hard and sparkling gaudy stones like the flashy diamonds, the pearl is a living treasure, made by a mollusc seeking to smooth over the irritation inside it. It reflects this organic element by needing to be worn close to the skin soaking up the body's oils to keep them at their best.
Thank you very much,
Tess
I'm currently in a land where I hope to find a pearl pendant,
Thanks to you, I wouldn't have thought of it on my own.
From Kathryn R
I also have been looking for a new scent and would love to be included in the DRAW. Thank you.

Beguiled and bewitched
By the thought
Those wonderful Spring perfumes could be mine.
Pearls of course Duchesse
Always look forward to your posts, they are full of wisdom and wit and astute observation. And thank you for your encouragement and guidance in my PEARL renovation!
I would love to be included in the DRAW FOR THE FLORA FRAGRANCE PAK.
We share a love of PEARLS. I love scent but definitely consider it a splurge. The last time I purchased a bottle of perfume was for my daughter for her wedding. That was five years ago.

I consider your blog a "pearl" in my day so I know that pearls are your favorite gems. I have purchased from the lovely ladies at Perfumniche recently at your suggestion and learned about the DRAW down in each beautiful scent.
Warm evenings and sunny days bring thousands of blooming poppies here in the desert southwest of the United States-wish you could see them!
Thank you for sharing your insights and joys with us!

I deeply admire Shibumi Gallery but it depends on your style.
For draw, please give me your name (or a pseudonym) as there is more than one Unknown entrant.
Unknown @ April 4, 1:23: Draws as Unknown are tricky as anyone could claim your place, so please enter again, as Unknown is OK but add a first name. Many thanks!
