La Fille de l'Air Monoï

It was a matter of happiness, here and elsewhere. However, it seems that this time La Fille de l'Air decided to set down its bags in one very specific place charged with exoticism. Thus, this perfume returns in the form of La Fille de l'Air Monoï.

Courrèges takes us on a journey

When Courrèges created La Fille de l'Air, in 2015, its ambition was to pay homage to the women of today. Indeed, the house of Courrèges has always accompanied them in their emancipation and their desire for movement. Thus, while Courrèges championed pantsuits and comfortable materials in the 1960s, the house now endeavors to take us on a journey. Moreover, it must be acknowledged that today's women dream of several lives at once, wanting to be in several places in the world simultaneously in order to fully realize themselves. Thus, to create the perfume La Fille de l'Air Monoï, the house called on Fabrice Pellegrin. A renowned creator, he readily admits to having been drawn to the world of scents from a very young age. According to him, perfumes must convey an emotion and take the senses on a journey. This is precisely what one finds in La Fille de l'Air Monoï. This perfume feels as if steeped in sunshine, and that is noticeable from the very start. La Fille de l'Air Monoï opens with a fresh yet luminous accord of bergamot and neroli. This ingredient is an absolute obtained by distilling the leaves and bark of the bitter orange tree. Moreover, it paves the way for a heart that is just as radiant, laden with orange blossom. Finally, La Fille de l'Air Monoï gradually grows more exotic and ultimately ends with a syrupy, sensual pairing of vanilla and tiare flower.

La Fille de l'Air Monoï, the return of an iconic bottle

This perfume's belonging to the great Courrèges family is evident from the sight of its bottle alone. Indeed, it takes up the iconic silhouette of Courrèges perfumes. This bottle first came into being in 1971 with the creation of the fragrance Empreinte. Very futuristic for its time, it managed to pass through the years without ever going out of style. This timeless design rests on a cylindrical base topped with an enormous sphere serving as a cap. This time, it comes in a new shade, taking on a transparency that is both rosy and orange. The whole almost becomes reminiscent of a sunset over the ocean. The result of this perfume is thoroughly poetic and exotic in every respect, both through its visual and through its scent.
