Houbigant's latest creation to celebrate the Orange tree.
The Orange is the symbol of fertility, abundance (because Orange trees produce flowers and fruit simultaneously), innocence and marriage par excellence, it is also the emblem of eternal love. In fact, it was common custom for the bride to wear the orange blossom in some way or have it in her bouquet on her wedding day. This tradition originated in China but it was Queen Victoria, one of Houbigant's most prestigious clients, who affirmed this tradition by wearing a crown of orange blossoms on her wedding day in 1840.
The orange tree is a favorite of perfumers as it is one of the most versatile of all essence sources, giving us a collection of incredibly diverse scents:
- Essential oil extracted from orange peel
- Orange absolute solvent extracted from flowers
- Neroli: essence steam distilled from flowers
- Petitgrain: it is also extracted from the small fruits of the bitter orange tree
- Eau de Brouts: is the result obtained by concentrating the distilled waters of petit grain
