Féerie

Launched in 2008, Féerie is a woody floral built by Antoine Maisondieu around violet, which Van Cleef & Arpels dresses in a faceted jewel bottle topped with a fairy perched on a branch. Violet leaves, blackcurrant buds and Italian mandarin open onto Bulgarian rose and Egyptian jasmine, before a base of iris, vetiver and white musks.

Where to buy

Van Cleef & Arpels, a Place Vendôme jeweler since 1906, launched Féerie in 2008 with Inter Parfums. According to The Scented Salamander, Philippe Benacin, head of Inter Parfums, wanted to make the bottle the most beautiful object in the store.

The world of fairies

The house draws on the fairies that adorn its jewelry, figures of a mischievous and sensual femininity, caught in mid-flight in an enchanted world of butterflies, dragonflies and birds of paradise. For Féerie, one of them lands on the bottle.

A violet of contrasts

Antoine Maisondieu signed an essence of contrasts, which the house says constantly oscillates between day and night, and which it builds around violet, an eternal flower synonymous with charm and poetry. The launch press ranked it among the woody florals.

A line of variations

Féerie opened a line: Now Smell This lists Féerie Rose des Neiges, Féerie Spring Blossom and, in 2015, Féerie Rubis, also signed by Antoine Maisondieu. Prime Beauté cites the same Rose des Neiges and Rubis among the fragrance’s variations.

What critics say

Robin, of Now Smell This, finds it a delicate, slightly fanciful floral, worthy of its bottle, but too close to the fruity florals aimed at tweens to justify its price.

The advertising

Fairies in the blue night

The visual and the film plunge Féerie into a blue night where crystal flowers grow and fairies come to life in a cloud of stars.

According to Prime Beauté, both the visual and the advertising film are steeped in a midnight-blue world, where crystal flowers grow on trees and fairies come to life in a cloud of stars to make the fragrance bloom. The house promises a world of exception made of stars, butterflies and dreams.
