Janet Cutler
Natural Perfumes and Perfumes of Antiquity
Perfume creation is an ancient art, dating back in history thousands of years when perfume was more precious than gold. Aromatic materials and natural oils from plants were crafted with great patience into perfumes, incense, bath oils and scented unguents worn by men and women.Fleur de Lis Perfumes recreates the natural perfumes of ancient times with historical accuracy.We offer them in beautiful hand-carved urns of creamy white Italian alabaster.
In modern times, essential oils are distilled and mixed into a volatile alcoholic base so the fragrance can diffuse and surround the wearer more quickly. Our first two modern-style original perfumes are Desiree and Luann Marie. We believe that the complexity of natural aromatic oils can never be duplicated by synthetics. Desiree is a Floriental and Luann Marie is a warm floral. These fragrances are available in liquid and in solid perfume.
Perfumer Janet Cutler, who founded Fleur de Lis Perfumes in 1999 is continually creating new fragrances in both ancient and modern styles. Her foundation in fragrances began in her teens when her grandmother returned from Grasse, France with a gift of perfume. Since then she has continually studied the art of perfumery, researched its history, and produced perfumes with the intention of creating exceptional fragrances that captivate the senses and bring to the memory the true beauty of the natural world.
Isabelle Aurel
'Desire in sunlight' is a poetic phrase. Like a poet, a perfumer composes with intangible elements: emotions, memory and resonance. 'Desire in sunlight' - breathe in beauty wherever you go.
Some of my most cherished memories are playing in gardens, traveling through Provence and Tuscany capturing images, the scent of my children on the beach, and the savory honeyed skin of my lover.Creating a perfume may be the most abstract art of all: blending a volatile shape of essences to form an imagined idea. Much of the inspiration for perfumes comes from fragments gathered together and released, like a mesmerizing performance. Listening to the songs of the essences, their journey and experience, brings deeply felt emotion to the process. This is passion on the brink of obsession, to blend intriguing, beautiful perfumes full of colour, sound, and healing vibration.
Our couture creations are sophisticated and healthy,infused with pure essences full of natural intelligence. The perfect way to perfume the unforgettable moments of your life. Our liquid natural perfumes come in beautiful French flacons while the sumptuous solid perfumes arrive in silver topped glass containers.Lovely silk and velvet perfume pouches complete the package.
