The fragrance of an Eau Florale by Repetto The house of Repetto was born in the heart of Paris in 1947. Its workshops, located just steps from the Opéra National de Paris, made dance shoes that were quickly considered among the finest quality in the world.
Repetto Eau Florale, a gentle olfactory ballet While the house of Repetto was founded to offer the prettiest dance shoes, it launched into the perfumery adventure in 2013 following its commercial agreement with Interparfums. Repetto Eau de Toilette and Repetto Eau de Parfum would then let us experience the most beautiful moments of a star dancer. In order to continue telling this wonderful story, the famous house so beloved by dancers called on Juliette Karagueuzoglou and Nicolas Beaulieu to compose Repetto Eau Florale.

Repetto Eau Florale, or the dancer's sweet and elegant bouquets of flowers, by Juliette Karagueuzoglou and Nicolas Beaulieu
The house of Repetto, born from the skilled hands of Rose Repetto in the 1950s, first became known for the quality of its dance shoes, hand-sewn and each crafted to fit perfectly the shape of every dancer. Then in the 1970s it was these famous shoes, worn by great artists, that built the house's reputation; Repetto perfumery arrived much later, in the 2010s, which did not stop it from making its mark!
Indeed, while some great fashion or leather goods houses chose to build their reputation through the early creation of perfumes, this is not the case for Repetto, which waited for its agreement with Interparfums to offer its very first Repetto Eau de Toilette in 2013, signed by the great Olivier Polge. The fragrance was a success, and Olivier Polge would sign the second installment, more oriental, named Repetto Eau de Parfum. A few pretty summer flankers later, and with Olivier Polge having departed for very Chanel skies, Repetto asked the young and talented Juliette Karagueuzoglou to write the next chapter in the scented stories of our favorite dancer.
This is how Repetto Eau Florale was born, drawing inspiration from the notes composed by Olivier Polge in the first installments to create a new balance, more floral, more romantic still. Moreover, the participation of the very bucolic perfumer Nicolas Beaulieu is certainly not unrelated to this lovely breeze of flowers that Repetto Eau Florale offers us…
For Repetto's Eau Florale, with my colleague Nicolas Beaulieu, we worked on lightness and freshness, keeping in mind the image of a playful, fresh ballerina in her tulle tutu. Juliette Karagueuzoglou on Repetto Eau Florale.
Repetto's most beautiful flowers offered in the fragrance Repetto Eau Florale
Designed to depict the dancer amid a great bath of flowers thanking her for her magnificent performance, Repetto Eau Florale sets out to reuse the strong notes of the two previous installments, as well as to add new raw materials that will bring summery, fruity freshness to this one.
Thus Repetto Eau Florale opens on a fruity-floral accord between an invigorating yellow grapefruit and a delicate plum blossom, meant to evoke, through fruity notes, the juicy sweetness of summer and its fruits. Then, at the heart, we find with great pleasure the pretty rose that has always defined the Repetto dancer in her fragrances; this time it is paired no longer with a sun-kissed orange blossom but with a powdery violet that lends it a somewhat retro elegance. Finally, the woody notes of Virginia cedar take on a new sensuality thanks to ambergris.
A concentrate of joie de vivre, bold and radiant. Repetto on Eau Florale.
