The soul is said to be the essence of life, the fragile, incorporeal aspect of ourselves. Damage a soul and it goes adrift, waiting for grace to restore it. Perfumes, too, have a sort of soul, an individual essence that can distill other times, people, even particular feelings for us. When overlooked by time, they are lost, falling out memory. The first fragrance of the great Paul Vacher, owner and perfumer of Le Galion, became such a l’ame perdue (lost soul). But now, Le Galion creative director Nicolas Chabot and Givaudan master perfumer Rodrigo-Flores Roux have reclaimed it. Le Galion L’Ame Perdue , beautifully reimagined as a modern floriental with a distinctive vintage shimmer. No one creates florals with a more fine-tuned sense of history than Rodrigo Flores-Roux. In his hands, the past and present are seamlessly interwoven, and his mastery of blending retro styles with modern ingredients is showcased beautifully here. Le Galion L’Ame Perdue opens like a sepia painting of a still-life
