About This Perfume
Fleur de Louis by Arquiste is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women. Fleur de Louis was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Rodrigo Flores-Roux. The fragrance features Iris, African Orange Flower, Orris, Jasmine, Rose, Virginia Cedar and Pine. The inspiration of the fragrance: June 1660, Isle of Pheasants, Basque region, on the French-Spanish border. To ensure peace between them, two Royal Courts converge at a richly-appointed pavilion built of freshly cut Pine and Cedar wood. From the French side, in a golden aura of Iris, Rose and Jasmine, emerges a young Louis XIV, all starched and composed, eager to catch a glimpse of his new bride, the Infanta Maria Teresa. The main notes of the composition are the following: Orange Flower, Florentine iris, Jasmine, and White Cedar.
