Virginie’s initial idea was to create a perfume based on the Tuberose Mimosa, a mix of capability and femininity, as well as sensuality and sweetness. Virginie wanted a perfume in her image. She’s both atypical and creative. A benign perfume was out of the question. Wild Mimosa is cultivated along the foothills of the French Riviera. The flower is a symbol for the region in which it so lovingly plants its’ routes, and which it takes pleasure in glorifying. Her perfume is recognizable. It’s both an ephemeral and a dazzling perfume. Virginie works exclusively with perfumes that are bright, shiny and at the same time floral.

Eau de Virginie is powerful down to its’ base. The luminous Mimosa mixes with the tuberose, in such a way that mixes both the white and the discreet flowers to make a down to earth and balanced scent.

Virginie’s goal is to deliver a floral and sensual bouquet which doesn’t betray its straightforward freshness; a freshness with notes of spices. This mimosa is the flower of women who aspire to equality, liberty and life. It’s the symbol of elegance, tenderness, friendship and simplicity; the simply luxuries which Virginie is able to herself appreciate.Winter flower which warms us like the sun, the journe y isn’t far. Notes of  ylang-ylang which contribute to it. A milky vapor, both vanilla-flavored and gourmand, gives a sense of comfort: Eau de Virginie is the perfume of an emancipated woman, a gourmand of life.
