Pluie sur Ha LongMarine Floral Eau de Parfum

Pluie sur Ha Long by Ella K is a niche floral, marine and musky eau de parfum, unisex, created by Sonia Constant. It is born from Ha Long Bay under the monsoon, its limestone peaks drowned in mist.

An imaginary heroine, a house founded by a female perfumer

Ella K was born in Paris in 2017, created by perfumer Sonia Constant with her husband, himself a specialist in raw material sourcing. Very few perfume houses are created by female perfumers: Ella K is an exception. "Ella K" is an imaginary heroine, inspired by three explorers from another century: Ella Maillart — from whom Sonia Constant says she borrowed her first name —, Karen Blixen and Alexandra David-Néel. Each perfume is the olfactory memory of a moment lived somewhere in the world, and is based on an iconic ingredient, a symbol of the destination, surrounded by rare naturals and high-quality synthetic molecules. Trained at the ISIPCA and then at Givaudan, where she still works, Sonia Constant signed Guerlain L'Abeille, Montblanc Emblem, Balmain Extatic and Burberry Sport. 100 ml bottle.

An opening of pink pepper, nashi pear and rhubarb

Pink pepper opens fruity and sparkling, the nashi pear — crunchy and grainy — brings its flesh. Rhubarb adds a green and vegetal acidity.

A heart of lotus flower, water jasmine and magnolia

Lotus flower and water jasmine unfold — two flowers that grow in water. Magnolia brings its lemony clarity and rose a discreet sweetness.

A base of ambrofix, musk and akigala wood

Ambrofix establishes a mineral warmth, musk the skin effect and akigala wood a discreet woody dryness.

The house's signature

A whole bouquet of water flowers, and not a single marine note. They are the iconic ingredient of this destination — the house expressly says so. Lotus and water jasmine grow IN water: it is the plant that creates the humidity, not a synthetic ozonic accord. The rhubarb at the top, acidic and vegetal, extends this logic. The result is an aquatic that looks like no other: it smells like the monsoon on flowers, not the sea.

For whom, for what occasions?

Floral, marine and musky, this eau de parfum is for those who want a fresh floral that is neither sweet nor ozonic. It gives its best from spring to summer, during the day, worn equally well by women as by men.

With Pluie sur Ha Long Ella K, Sonia Constant creates humidity with plants, not with molecules.
