Le Couvent des Minimes Les Colognes Botaniques ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 5 November 2018 10 Comments

Le Couvent des Minimes has repackaged and updated its fragrance offerings since being sold by L'Occitane last year. The two new collections, Les Colognes Botaniques and Les Parfums Remarquables, comprise five new vegan fragrances each. Les Colognes Botaniques includes Aqua Minimes, Aqua Mysteri, Aqua Paradisi, Aqua Sacrae and Aqua Solis.

Aqua Minimes ~ "...a fresh fragrance expertly blended with citrus, woody and litsea accords to delight the senses. Crafted using natural botanical essences according to the tradition of French Haute Parfumerie, the luxurious fragrance is both highly concentrated and long-lasting for a memorable olfactory experience. The energising scent takes inspiration from the freshness of first light in the Citrus Garden at Le Couvent des Minimes".

Aqua Mysteri ~ "...an intoxicating fragrance powered by fresh and floral notes. Highly concentrated and long-lasting, the scent is made using natural botanical essences blended according to the tradition of French Haute Parfumerie. Reminiscent of strolls through the orange gardens of Le Couvent des Minimes, the scent combines Orange Blossom with Palmarosa to create a memorable olfactory experience."

Aqua Paradisi ~ "...an intoxicating fragrance fueled by fresh and floral notes. Highly concentrated and long-lasting, the alluring scent is made using natural botanical essences blended according to the tradition of French Haute Parfumerie. Reminiscent of tranquil, flower-picking strolls through the rose gardens of Le Couvent des Minimes, the scent combines Rose with Geranium to create a memorable olfactory experience."

Aqua Sacrae ~ "...an intense fragrance powered by powdery floral notes. Highly concentrated and long-lasting, the scent is made using natural botanical essences blended according to the tradition of French Haute Parfumerie. Denoting dusk in the honeyed fragrance of White-Flower at Le Couvent des Minimes, the scent combines Jasmine with Tuberose to create a memorable olfactory experience."

Aqua Solis ~ "...an intense fragrance powered by spicy citrus notes. Highly concentrated and long-lasting, the scent is made using natural botanical essences blended according to the tradition of French Haute Parfumerie. Combines Tangerine and Cardamom to create a memorable olfactory experience."

Le Couvent des Minimes Aqua Minimes, Aqua Mysteri, Aqua Paradisi, Aqua Sacrae and Aqua Solis are available in 10, 50, 100 and 200 ml 'Cologne Botanique Intense'.

    Love how they say ‘highly concentrated and long-lasting’ in every description. Snark 😛

      It is silly, but they probably also didn’t mean anybody to read them this way all at once 🙂

        Yeah, right! But that also repeats for all 5 in black bottles from your second announcement post.

    The Paradisi one sounds nice. I’m a big fan of their Eau de Cloître, which is straight up rose.

      And I assume Paradisi is the one meant to replace that — worth a shot, anyway.

    Do you know whom they were sold to? (Or are they independent now??)

    These sound nice, but guess I need to pick up Eau Sereine while I can!
