[Barnabé] Fillion, a renowned scent designer who has worked with top brands like Aēsop, Paul Smith, and Comme des Garçons, recently collaborated in a multicultural project that has “distilled” some of the plants that grow around the run-down buildings in this underprivileged neighborhood where some of its 18,000 residents come from Asia, Africa and South America. Children from the neighborhood’s Candelaria Educational and Social Association worked on identifying and collecting the plants and sending them by mail to Fillion.

Absolutely loved the project. I have done some plant distillation at home with my children and they love it.
Might purchase a bottle to contribute! Wonder what it smells like? Any ideas?
It mentions orange blossom and jasmine as well as other interesting plants.
This is a very cool project! I hope you are able to contribute and get a bottle. Please let us know what it’s like.
2nd that!

By the way, have you tried his new fragrance Rozu? I was just reading about it, got me curious.
I have not.
