flora & henri announced today two, signature, artisanal fragrances. Known for offering personal, boutique interactions and a timeless shopping experience, flora and henri now adds handcrafted fragrances to their carefully curated collection.

“Fragrance should both transport you and bring you home. It should remind you of your most exotic travels while being exactly the fragrance of cozying up at home with fresh flowers from your garden,” said Owner/Designer Jane Hedreen.  “Your perfume should be the scent of your graceful grandmother, the reminder of adventure, a night out with your love and the persistent whisper that life is truly beautiful! It is something you should never be without.”

The fragrances were developed in collaboration with Chelsey Owen of Atelier Madrona, and label artwork done by local artist Kyler Martz. Each eau de parfum will be available in three sizes: 5ml for $30, 50 ml for $140, and 100ml for $250.

Alcazar Palace - Opening with the signature of orange blossoms - a rich orange citrus on top of a beautiful white flower – this fragrance is sunny and warm.  Aromatic, sweet, and elegant, the Tunisian orange blossom blends with violet for a soft and clean impression.  This scent stays bright and lively, thanks to a Peruvian amber note that adds dimension but not weight.

Isle of May - A powdery olfactive embrace, the fragrance is a combination of rich red roses and fruity purple violets, with a base of vanilla-amber and musk.  Top notes of Spanish lemon oil and violet enhance the fragrance’s Turkish and Bulgarian rose notes.  Powdery initially, however, lightens once vetiver lends its earthy note. Raspberry note is obvious in the dry down, and it saturates the base with a sweet glow.

The concept shop will celebrate with a launch party on Tuesday, November 14th, welcoming guests in for bites and bubbles from 11 am – 4 pm.

flora and henri is located in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood at 401 1st Ave South, Seattle, WA  98104. Store hours are Monday through Friday 10 am -7 pm, Saturday 11 am -7 pm, and Sunday 11 am -5 pm.
