L'Eau d'Hiver - By Jean-Claude Ellena (Perfume)

Olfactory family: Floral, Musky, Woody

A warm cloud of iris, hawthorn and heliotrope pervades a transparent sea of ​​bergamot and edione to create a paradoxical “eau chaude”; a subtle and intimate expression of personal comfort.



Maitre: Jean-Claude Ellena


As a disciple and close friend of the legendary Edmond Roudnitska (creator of "Le Parfum de Thérèse"), Jean-Claude Ellena began her career with a minimalist approach to perfumery. Since then, he has developed this approach into his own distinctive style, which is continually out of his way of being elegant and quiet, and has been compared by his contemporaries to watercolor sketches and chamber music. Jean-Claude says that a perfume must be like “a soft caress; nothing must shock, nothing must shout ".

Jean-Claude Ellena was born in Grasse into a family of perfumers. His training begins at the age of 17, in the most prestigious laboratories - in Grasse, Paris, New York and Geneva - where he always considers himself to be self-taught. Jean-Claude met Frédéric Malle in Roure while he was working on a Bulgari "Eau au Thé Vert". He composed a perfume a year for Editions de Parfums before joining Hermès. Now Frédéric Malle is back as a full-fledged author at Editions de Parfums.
