New Fragrance: Le Labo Geranium 30 (2014) + Opening Ceremony “Floral Installation in A Bottle”

le labo geranium 30

Le Labo has been collaborating outside the fragrance world of late with such partners as Violet Grey and now with the edgy fashion retailer, Opening Ceremony.

Celebrated for his flamboyant and daring floral arrangements, Thierry Boutemy.has left his print on everything from film to fashion, creating works for Film maker Sofia Coppola (Marie Antointette) and  Fashion Designer Dries Van Noten.

"Le Labo Fragrances decided to contribute to Opening Ceremony's partnership with Thierry Boutemy by creating a very limited edition fragrance (100 bottles only) for the event. Geranium 30, developed with French perfumer who studied botany and phytology,  Barnabé Fillion, is a haphazard-seeming but impossibly artful bouquet of flowers (geranium, jasmin…) which, in a way, is Boutemy's own floral installation style in a bottle. Impossibly artful" because of the dangerous balance between the flowers and the spices (baie rose, poivre long…) which brings to the one who wears Geranium 30 the permanent feeling of walking in a perfectly arranged mad, wild garden…"

 It is handmade in Le Labo's signature glass bottles, with custom-printed floral labels that feature decorations by M. Boutemy. Le Labo Geranium 30 is $240 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum, and can be found at Opening Ceremony.

  • walking in a perfectly arranged mad, wild garden…”” 😉 something strange going on… I know I typed this in my ^post but I don’t know where it went…

  • Hmmm now this sounds like something I may like. An arranged mad, wild garden sounds like me 😉

    Like a wild garden in the middle of the city! This sounds wonderful. Only 100 bottles? I agree this “brings a certain impermanence to this perfume that is very linked to the existence of a floral arrangement.”
