In January of last year at the first Elements Showcase, I initially sniffed Nez a Nez Immortelle Marilyn, which was still very much a work in progress. I think it was the way I sniffed that piqued Stéphane’s curiosity, and we became engrossed in conversation.
It’s great to be a natural perfumer in America. The spirit of entrepreneurship is very strong in American natural perfumery.

For this launch, the bottle sheds its initial 250 ml format and adopts the 100 ml travel size allowed in the plane cabin.
