The most used white flower is jasmine. This flower has largely contributed to the success of the flowers of Grasse. Powerful and heady, jasmine delivers an incomparable touch of exoticism. Because it knows how to be powdery, fruity, soft and animal, jasmine is a concentrate of femininity and it is rare today to find a feminine perfume that does not contain it. Some perfumers have nevertheless tried to divert white flowers from their natural innocence. Among them, one counts Serge Lutens with Iron Virgin.Here, the nonconformist perfumer wanted to turn a thorn lily into an instrument of torture. As for Mathilde Laurent, the nose who produced Baiser Volé de Cartier, she wanted to give the lily a much less wise, much more voluptuous, sensual, even sexual aspect.
