Our Story

In the spring of 2010, I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation from Royal Historic Palaces to conduct a one-in-a-lifetime workshop at the Orangerie of Kensington Palace, centered on perfumery in the Georgian era.

While exploring the Palace's nosegay gardens, I was transported back in time as I inhaled the delightful scents of English roses, sweet pea flowers, carnations, apple blossoms, and an array of garden herbs.

I felt a strong urge to trace the steps of my French ancestors, who served as perfumers to the European courts during the mid to late 19th century. This inspired me to create the SOLIFLORE perfume collection, featuring floral scents and aromas drawn from the gardens and personalities of that time.
