A new interpretation of a secret 19th century patchouli perfume formula. Meinrad Hilfiger was a 19th century Maitre Gantier Parfumeur. His secret formula manuscript was handed from one generation to the next, and his great granddaughter used modern ingredients to give his authentic perfume a contemporary interpretation. This fresh and woody perfume was nominated by The Fragrance Foundation for the prestigious 'Perfume Extraordinaire' 2020 award. This fragrance is a great choice for summer - from the beach through a summer wedding. “The heart is French Rose Absolute from Grasse. The rose petals are hand-picked before sunrise so that they carry the morning dew with them”.
