Le Couvent des Minimes Les Parfums Remarquables ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 5 November 2018 8 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 Parfums Remarquables includes Fort Royal, Porto Bello, Santa Cruz, Smyrna and Valparaiso.

Fort Royal ~ "...an intoxicating fragrance infused with spiced, Oriental notes. Highly concentrated and long-lasting, the alluring scent is made using natural botanical essences steeped in the tradition of French Haute Parfumerie. Inspired by French botanist Louis Feuillée’s travels, the alluring Vanilla-like fragrance of Benzoin spiced with Wild Berries evokes the lush, sweet, blossoming floral of the Canary Islands, creating a memorable olfactory experience."

Porto Bello ~ "...an intoxicating fragrance infused with deliciously woody notes. Highly concentrated and long-lasting, the alluring scent is made using natural botanical essences steeped in the tradition of French Haute Parfumerie. Inspired by Louis Feuillée’s travels, a gentle arrangement of Sweet Orange, spices and woody incense perfectly encapsulate the sensual and captivating atmosphere of Panama Bay to create a memorable olfactory experience."

Santa Cruz ~ "...an intoxicating fragrance infused with a delicious blend of fresh, citrusy and minty notes. Highly concentrated and long-lasting, the alluring scent is made using natural botanical essences steeped in the tradition of French Haute Parfumerie. Inspired by French botanist Louis Feuillée’s travels, a gentle marriage of sun-kissed Bergamot and cooling Eucalyptus create a memorable olfactory experience."

Smyrna ~ "...an intoxicating fragrance infused with spicy, floral notes. Highly concentrated and long-lasting, the alluring scent is made using natural botanical essences steeped in the tradition of French Haute Parfumerie. Inspired by French botanist Louis Feuillée’s travels, a gentle marriage that blends the velvety muskiness of Rose and the pungent bite of Black Pepper transports you to the Orient, creating a memorable olfactory experience."

Valparaiso ~ "...an intoxicating fragrance infused with spicy, woody notes. Highly concentrated and long-lasting, the alluring scent is made using natural botanical essences steeped in the tradition of French Haute Parfumerie. Inspired by French botanist Louis Feuillée’s travels, a gentle marriage of fresh Vetiver and majestic Cedar transports you to the wooded Chilean coastlines, creating a memorable olfactory experience."

Le Couvent des Minimes Fort Royal, Porto Bello, Santa Cruz, Smyrna and Valparaiso are available in 10, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

      I skimmed quickly looking for this one! It is so beloved, I wonder why it didn’t get renamed/repackaged/re-priced.

        I keep looking for it, but it is gone gone gone, except for some outrageous scalper prices on Ebay.

    These all sound lovely. I am a fan of Berdoues and Roger and Gallet so right up my alley. I feel a purchase coming on.

    I like the “long lasting” part, I want all of them but from the looks of the beautiful bottles it seems they will be higher price than usual for the brand.
