4. The ScentManufactory
The Florascent fragrance manufactory presents Florascent Parfumeurs,
its extraordinary collection of precious natural perfumes that revives the tradition
of the European art of perfumery of the 17th century.
This tradition is for our manufactory a commitment to use the most exquisite natural
raw materials that give our fragrances their distinctive individuality.
Each flacon is hand-bottled, hand-sealed, and packed in stylish handmade paper tubes
which have already become a hallmark of Florascent Parfumeurs.
For both our perfumes and their tasteful outfit as well bear the signature of our perfumer
Roland Tentunian. His artistic sensitivity, craftsmanship, and technical skill made
a dream come true: to give a new lease of life to the traditional art of
17th century perfumery in a modern product line.

5. The Traditional Art of Perfumery
The traditional art of European perfumery dates back to the 17th century, when at royal courts
leather gloves became a fashionable clothing for various occasions. Yet the gloves exhaled an
acrid smell because of the acids used in tanning.
So glove makers looked out for a solution to this problem. And, beginning to scent their
leather ware, they laid - almost incidentally - the foundations to the future tradition
of European perfumery. Before long a number of them
had focused entirely on producing perfumes, as their fragrant waters became increasingly
popular among ladies and gentlemen of the nobility.
The rising demand of citrus fruits, jasmine, roses, lavender, violet, and many other
ingredients needed in perfumery fostered the cultivation of aromatic plants
all around the European parts of the Mediterranean, while
precious resins and spices continued to be imported on
ancient trade routes from the Far East.

6. Production Techniques
For the production of our natural fragrances we use in our manufactory
purest flower essences and specially produced aromatic plant extracts -
also known as ‘macerates’. They are the very basis our creations are built on.
Therefore most conservative distillation and extraction techniques
are used to preserve natural and untainted the unmistakeable aura of our
materials. In a maturation period of several months our scent compositions
are given time to develop their distinctive and mellow character.

Treasures fromEssences
In addition to a deep insight into traditional production techniques, the creation
of a natural perfume requires a lot of experience in handling rare and expensive
materials. It is this long-standing experience from two decades work as a perfumer,
along with a comprehensive knowledge of natural fragrances, which conveys
a unique character to Roland Tentunian's compositions.
Often it takes a long way and many approaches until a new perfume is
accomplished and the result lives up to his high demands.
Of vital importance is also the perfumer's knowledge where
to obtain the best basic materials for his creations. Therefore
unremitting quality controls and a careful selection are
indispensable prerequisites to guarantee the high
value of Florascent Parfumeurs products.

9. The Nomenclature of Fragrances
Like their predecessors from the first acme of European perfumery, the creations of Florascent
Parfumeurs allure with their natural charms. Our collection embraces pure-flower fragrances
(which are also called soliflores), aromatic waters and Oriental style scent compositions.
It is completed by an exquisite choice of fragrances for men and fanciful creations.
The Florascent collection comprises over twenty exclusive fragrances
which - or a better orientation - are divided into five different categories:
AQUA FLORALIS embraces pure-flower fragrances based on purest plant absolutes.
AQUA ORIENTALIS stands for the mystic world of Oriental scents.
AQUA AROMATICA is the name of our aromatic and revitalizing perfumes.
AQUA COLONIA comprise our fragrances for men.
AQUA COMPOSITA are thematic scent compositions.
The concentration of our natural fragrances is comparable
to that of a common eau de toilette.
