Posted by Robin on 27 August 2019 7 Comments

Le Couvent des Minimes has introduced Les Eaux de Parfum Singulières, a new collection of fragrances under the creative direction of perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena. The five "portraits of nature"— Hattaï, Heliaca, Lysandra, Nubica and Saïga —  were inspired by the voyages of botanist Louis Feuillée.

Hattaï ~ the wolf; an amber gourmand developed by Amélie Bourgeois with red berries, amber wood and cocoa.  

Heliaca ~ the eagle; a spicy woods developed by Amélie Bourgeois with spices, ginger, cardamom and oud.

Lysandra ~ the butterfly; a powdery floral developed by Jérôme di Marino with mandarin, jasmine and labdanum.

Nubica (shown) ~ the lioness; an amber woods developed by Corinne Cachen with patchouli and vanilla.

Saïga ~ the antelope; a fruity floral developed by Céline Ripert with rose, blackcurrant and cedar.

Le Couvent des Minimes Hattaï, Heliaca, Lysandra, Nubica and Saïga are available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    What’s the story on this line? Is it no longer sold in the U.S? I just saw some of the scents on Amazon, for exhorbitant prices. There used to be a U.S. website, but I’m not seeing it anymore.

      They are gone from Ulta as well. All of those lovely inexpensive huge bottles….all the old scents are showing up on eBay massively marked up. I read up on this company recently and I want to say it was bought out? And now the new fragrances being released are very expensive.

      It was bought out in 2017. (It used to be owned by L’Occitane.)

      Since then they have repackaged, and at the moment they do not appear to have any distribution in any English speaking country.

      Well, I guess I’m glad I kept the vanilla and rose scents. Amused me to see the orange blossom scent I brought home after clearing out my parents’ house is available on Amazon for $200.

      They made quite the radical turn. Interesting.
