Bouquet Fragola.

Marine Mercé imagined a garden of ripe strawberries drenched in early‑morning lemon when she crafted Bouquet Fragola for Nature’s 2022 launch. The collection celebrates Italian flora, and this scent captures the fleeting moment of a strawberry bouquet just after sunrise, a nod to the brand’s place‑based perfumery ethos that honors raw, locally sourced ingredients.

The choice of Sicilian primofiore lemon gives the opening a crisp, sun‑lit clarity that mirrors the citrus groves of southern Italy, while woodland strawberry adds a juicy, slightly tart heart reminiscent of early‑season harvests. Wild peony and violet lend a delicate floral lift, and the base of Australian sandalwood, Sorbettolide™ and Virginia cedar grounds the composition with a subtle, earthy timber that lingers like a quiet walk through a fragrant orchard.

The first ten minutes are dominated by a bright splash of Sicilian lemon that cuts through the sweet strawberry, creating a lively, almost effervescent opening that feels like a cool breeze through a berry patch. As the citrus fades, the heart blooms; honeysuckle drapes the skin in honeyed softness, wild peony adds a fresh, powdery edge, and violet introduces a soft, slightly green nuance. Mid‑day the base emerges; Australian sandalwood offers a creamy, milky woodiness, while Sorbettolide™, a synthetic mimic of fresh-cut grass, injects an unexpected green, almost dewy facet. Virginia cedar anchors the dry‑down with a dry, resinous whisper that settles after four to six hours, leaving a faint, comforting trace of wood and citrus that feels like the memory of a summer garden after the sun has set.

Since its 2022 debut, Bouquet Fragola has been praised for capturing the innocence of a fresh‑picked strawberry field, fitting Nature’s vision of seasonal vignettes. Wearers often cite it as a go‑to scent for casual outings and spring gatherings, positioning it as a modern, nature‑centric alternative to more gourmand‑heavy niche releases.
