Description
In the perfume houses of Grasse, scent is treated like poetry. Jasmine is picked by hand at dawn, before the sun can steal its fragrance, and roses are gathered by the basketful in May. A young perfumer, newly apprenticed, spends her first weeks simply learning to smell: bergamot, vetiver, iris, amber. At the end of her first season, her teacher gives her a gift, a single precious drop of her very first blend, kept in a tiny bottle she will treasure forever.
This lovely egg captures that sense of fragrant luxury. Painted in rich red and covered with intricate floral motifs, it opens to reveal a small perfume container nestled within, ready for a favourite scent. Offer it to a perfume lover, a bride on her wedding morning, a mother who has worn the same fragrance for decades, or a collector of fine eggs. On a vanity tray beside crystal bottles, it glows like a ruby.
