 Creative Director and designer Shalini has announced her new parfum Shalini Paradis Provence. It  is the fourth fragrance under her eponymous brand each composed by master perfumer Maurice Roucel of Symrse : Shalini Amorem Rose 2018 (Fragrance Foundation Finalist for Indie Perfume 2019)  Jardin Nocturne 2017 and her cult classic white floral Shalini (2004)

Where her first fragrance Shalini (2004) was inspired by Shalini’s memories of Seville, and  Jardin Nocturne of Dubai at night, Shalini Paradis Provence was inspired by The South of France… the land of Provence…“paradise on earth”.

“Tomorrow and the next day too, we will have days no different from this when the blue and golden moments glide by, days when suspended time stands still, merciful days where shadows come from a drawn curtain, a closed door or leafy trees, and not from an overcast sky.”  Colette

Master Perfumer Maurice Roucel of Symrise

 According to the press release, Shalini Paradis Provence is the fragrance of eternal summer and is ”a solar composition of lavender absolut, thyme and orange blossoms. Fields of blue lavande, thyme, orange blossoms, sunflowers following the golden sun, ancient olive trees, the sky that turns pink as it touches the azure of the Mediterranean and amorous nights drenched in jasmine.”

Paradis Provence is presented in the limited edition Lalique crystal flacon”Deux Fleurs”.  “Rene Lalique used the symbol of “vesica piscis” in this exquisite flacon representing the creative life force from which everything begins.”

Shalini Paradis Provence will be launching this autumn at select luxury retailers worldwide and the new  parfum will be available in the limited edition Lalique crystal flacon for $2700.

Also available in the Cubique Glass bottle with a Black Bulb atomizer for $500.
