Story

An accord guided by an insolent vine flower enveloped in sparkling white musks. This fragrance expresses the iconic tuberose carried away by the Mediterranean sea breeze and a few typical herbs from the lands it crosses.

The tuberose variety

Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa), an olfactory gem native to Mexico, flourishes under sunny skies and in warm climates. This botanical treasure, carefully cultivated in the exquisite lands of India and the Pays de Grasse, requires rich, well-drained soil. Planted in spring, tuberose reveals its splendour in summer, adorning its stems with white spike-like flowers that give off a captivating, enchanting fragrance. Each bulb, spaced precisely, is pampered with regular, measured watering. The flowers, picked at dusk to capture their purest essence, are the soul of the Contre Courant creation. Sensitive to the whims of nature, tuberose requires delicate attention, making its cultivation a true art form dedicated to elegance and beauty.
