The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Faberlic conceived Bouquet De Jardin in 2017 as a tribute to the fresh, untamed energy of spring, named for a blooming French garden. The brand enlisted perfumer Aliénor Massenet to translate that vision into scent, selecting rhubarb and blackcurrant as the opening anchors for their vibrant, contrasting tartness. The choice of these notes was deliberate, pairing the sharp, almost vegetable bite of rhubarb with the dark, wine-like depth of blackcurrant to create an opening that feels both energetic and grounded in nature rather than purely synthetic in its freshness.
The pairing of rhubarb and blackcurrant in the opening reflects a deliberate decision to ground the fragrance in tart, natural brightness rather than the sweeter fruit notes common in contemporary florals. Aliénor Massenet built the heart around peony as the primary bloom, layering tulip and rose to give the floral heart dimensionality and structure. Buttercup functions as a quiet connector, bridging the brighter florals with the warmer, spiced undercurrent provided by saffron. In the drydown, cashmeran and musk create a soft, enveloping warmth that extends wear without overpowering, while woody notes keep the entire composition grounded and coherent.
The evolution
The fragrance arc begins with the sharp green jolt of rhubarb, quickly joined by the jammy tartness of blackcurrant and the clean lift of bergamot. As the top notes soften, peony emerges as the heart's leader, its powdery petals unfurling alongside tulip's structured freshness and rose's familiar warmth. Buttercup adds a quiet, golden sweetness that rounds the florals, while a hint of saffron introduces a spiced undercurrent that gives the garden bouquet unexpected depth. The composition settles into its final phase with cashmeran's plush, fabric-soft warmth, clean woody notes, and a skin-close musk that allows the floral-fruity opening to linger in gentler form.
Cultural impact
Since its 2017 debut, Bouquet De Jardin has become a staple among Faberlic’s consultant network, often recommended for spring gatherings and casual workdays. Wearers note its ability to stand out without overwhelming, making it a go‑to for those seeking a garden‑inspired fragrance that feels approachable yet distinct in the Russian market.
