Description

Floral Woody, Marine, Slightly Animalic

Inspiration: Facing the Indian Ocean, the island of Sumba located near the island of Komodo, in the province of the Lesser Sunda Islands, has been known for centuries as the island of sandalwood. The island is home to one of Indonesia’s most beautiful breeds of horse: the Sumba, also known as the Sandalwood Pony. At dawn or sunset, beyond the lush vegetation of the frangipani-lined Indonesian jungle, the beach at Nihiwatu becomes the playground of the Sumba horses. At the end of their wild runs they love to cool off in the water and under the effect of the swell, their hooves leave the ground, they then begin to swim in the ocean offering mankind a timeless spectacle.

The name: PHAEDON + SUMBA + SANDALWOOD

Note de voyage : Frangipani, flower of the gods

Frangipani is a shrub also known as Plumeria. The common name ‘frangipani’ comes from a 16th-century Italian marquis, Muzio Frangipani, who created an almond-based perfume for gloves. The fragrance of the frangipani flowers was said to recall that of his perfumed gloves. Later, this name was given to almond-based preparations (the frangipane in the galette des rois, for example).
