Feuille Miskeo 2023

Feuille brings up memories for me. On my skin the most prominent notes are of elderflower petals and sliced lemon. I think of times when we were kids and we picked elderflower petals with our grandmother. We used to put our noses very close to smell them and ended up covered in pollen. Feuille feels like it is full of it. Then we layered the flowers with slices of lemon and sugar into big jars, covered them with water and left them for a few days on our windowsill fermenting into lemonade. I also get hints of linden blossoms and I think of last June when I went to Berlin and met Marie, the perfumer behind this scent. She wore an early version of it. Linden trees were just finishing their blooming and their scent was in the air. There are hints of nettles, too. You put these together and you get the street outside my window, one side is planted with linden trees and on the other there are gardens, some unkept, with elderflower trees just finishing their bloom, nettles and other weed growing everywhere.
