One Umbrella for Two by the French house Floraïku is a spectacular, luxurious and highly photorealistic gourmand fragrance in a Parisian café style, built on Asian ingredients. Perfumer Alienor Massenet aimed to evoke the romantic image of a couple standing under an umbrella in the Paris rain, stepping into a café to warm up. Inside, we are greeted by hypnotic aromas of freshly baked cakes and pastries.
The fragrance opens with blackcurrant and puffed rice in the top notes, followed by a heart of Japanese green tea known as Genmaicha, offering a nuttier profile than traditional matcha and evoking the sweetness of certain rice confections. All resting on a creamy, warm base of vanilla, musk and dry cedarwood. The lasting impression is that of a creamy, freshly baked cream cake.
According to Gents’ fragrance experts, this is one of the five best gourmand fragrances in the world.
