FLORE Botanical Alchemy

Per Fumum

The word perfume comes from the Latin per fumum—“through smoke.”

Long before fragrance was worn on the skin, aromatic woods, herbs, and precious resins were offered to the air. Smoke carried scent, memory, and intention, transforming spaces through ritual.

That ancient tradition became one of the inspirations behind Ritual de cérémonie, our limited edition edp botanical perfume.

Ritual de cérémonie.

Born from our beloved Ritual perfume oil, Ritual de cérémonie is a reimagined botanical perfume—created to explore the ceremony beyond the ritual itself.

Inspired by the same spirit of sacred resins, ancient woods and quiet contemplation, this new composition unfolds with greater radiance, depth and presence. Familiar in soul, yet entirely its own, it lingers like candlelight on warm timber and silken incense drifting through still air.

Handcrafted in small batches using traditional botanical perfumery techniques.

Meet The Sage.

Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) has been treasured for centuries, gathered beneath midsummer skies, woven into wreaths, burned as fragrant incense, and tucked beneath pillows to inspire vivid dreams. Named for Artemis, goddess of the moon and wild places, it has long been one of the great herbs of the apothecary.

At Flore, many of these botanicals begin in our own garden. Mugwort already finds its way into our Moon Garden collection, where it lends its cool, green, quietly mystical character to the fragrance.

Now, we’re exploring the plant in a new way.

The Sage is an upcoming botanical creation featuring organically grown mugwort, rosemary, white sage, and sagebrush from our garden, joined by farm-to-bottle holy basil and sweetgrass sourced from trusted organic growers. Inspired by traditional herb gardens and old-world plant craft, it celebrates the aromatic beauty of these remarkable plants and the simple ritual of bringing the garden into everyday life.

More will be revealed soon.

Sacré Été is back in stock.

Italian lemon glows through a warm heart of rose, frankincense and myrrh — luminous, softly resinous and quietly sensual.

It carries the feeling of a late-summer afternoon: sun-warmed petals, golden light resting on the skin, and a gentle depth gathering beneath the brightness.

A classical rose perfume softened by heat, shadow and time.

Two fragrances. One coastline.

Sombrio and Flores Island were both born from Vancouver Island and the wild Pacific coastline. What’s fascinating is that they actually share many of the same ingredients—ambergris, oud, roasted seashells, woods, citrus, and other shared materials—yet they tell completely different stories.

Sombrio explores the coast beneath the forest canopy. Black rock, weathered driftwood, fern and fauna, waterfalls, moss, leather, sea air and rain. A marine fougère that captures the rugged, untamed spirit of the Pacific Northwest.

Flores Island is the shoreline at golden hour. Cardamom, wild orange and cypress open into salt-kissed beach roses, while ambergris, roasted seashells, warm amber, sandalwood and oud create a fragrance that feels both coastal and timeless. It carries the quiet warmth of classical attars and amber traditions, woven into the landscape of Vancouver Island.

They prove that the same palette of materials can tell entirely different stories.

One is the quiet mystery of the rainforest.

The other is the warmth of the open shore.

Beautiful on their own. Unexpectedly beautiful layered together.

Every old garden has its guardian.

Beyond the roses are the nightshades—the datura, the brugmansia, the quiet plants that have long been part of old gardens and their folklore.

The rose is just the offering.
