Niche line Oriza L. Legrand has launched Apothéose, a soft floral fragrance.
Originally released in 1900, Apothéose is a classically structured perfume in the manner of Arpège by Lanvin and Chanel #5 by Chanel. Although aldehydes didn’t become popular in perfumery until 1912 when Robert Benaimé created Quelques Fleurs for the house of Houbigant, the current version of Apothéose showcases the vibrance and sparkle of these molecules.
The notes include eucalyptus, pepper, ylang ylang, lily, rose, benzoin and musk.
Oriza L. Legrand Apothéose is $165 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at Fumerie.

Loving the old school vibe here. The notes sound interesting too.
I do like their packaging 🙂
I love Oriza, even though I don’t live all of their fragrances. Plus I’ve got a very soft spot for their packaging (the tassels in particular!). Their shop in Paris is really nice, very small and friendly.
I have not kept up, but likewise love the packaging.
It’s hard to imagine that eucalyptus doesn’t overpower the other notes but what do I know. Beautiful packaging.
I thought the exact same thing. Is eucalyptus meant to take the place of aldehydes??
Thank you Robin, fond of the house and their great buy 100ml bottle get 50ml bottle free.
