The ScentManufactoryThe Florascent fragrance manufactory presents Florascent Parfumeurs,

its extraordinary collection of precious natural perfumes that revives the traditionof the European art of perfumery of the 17th century.

This tradition is for our manufactory a commitment to use the most exquisite natural raw materials that give our fragrances their distinctive individuality. Each flacon is hand-bottled, hand-sealed, and packed in stylish handmade paper tubes which have already become a hallmark of Florascent Parfumeurs.

For both our perfumes and their tasteful outfit as well bear the signature of our perfumer Roland Tentunian. His artistic sensitivity, craftsmanship, and technical skill made a dream come true: to give a new lease of life to the traditional art of 17th century perfumery in a modern product line.

The Traditional Art of PerfumeryThe traditional art of European perfumery dates back to the 17th century, when at royal courts leather gloves became a fashionable clothing for various occasions. Yet the gloves exhaled an acrid smell because of the acids used in tanning.

So glove makers looked out for a solution to this problem. And, beginning to scent their leather ware, they laid - almost incidentally - the foundations to the future tradition of European perfumery. Before long a number of them had focused entirely on producing perfumes, as their fragrant waters became increasingly popular among ladies and gentlemen of the nobility.

The rising demand of citrus fruits, jasmine, roses, lavender, violet, and many other ingredients needed in perfumery fostered the cultivation of aromatic plants all around the European parts of the Mediterranean, while precious resins and spices continued to be imported onancient trade routes from the Far East.

Production TechniquesFor the production of our natural fragrances we use in our manufactory purest flower essences and specially produced aromatic plant extracts - also known as ‘macerates’. They are the very basis our creations are built on.

Therefore most conservative distillation and extraction techniques are used to preserve natural and untainted the unmistakeable aura of our materials. In a maturation period of several months our scent compositions are given time to develop their distinctive and mellow character.

Handmade Luxory7

Treasures fromEssencesIn addition to a deep insight into traditional production techniques, the creation of a natural perfume requires a lot of experience in handling rare and expensive materials. It is this long-standing experience from two decades work as a perfumer, along with a comprehensive knowledge of natural fragrances, which conveys a unique character to Roland Tentunian's compositions.

Often it takes a long way and many approaches until a new perfume is accomplished and the result lives up to his high demands. Of vital importance is also the perfumer's knowledge where to obtain the best basic materials for his creations. Therefore unremitting quality controls and a careful selection are indispensable prerequisites to guarantee the high value of Florascent Parfumeurs products.
