‘Between the Pont du Carrousel and the Pont Royal, near the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, Quai Voltaire stretches out like a quiet daydream along the Seine River. The warmth of sunlit stone, the gentle rhythm of water against the waterfront, and the soft echo of footsteps on cobblestones create a moment suspended in time. Lining the waterfront, historical brasseries and cafés exude a timeless charm, inviting passersby to linger. Along this poetic stretch, the air seems alive with the possibility of love. The olfactory symbol of love at first sight – “Coup de Foudre” in French – amber reveals its most seductive and alluring facets. A burst of bergamot and jasmine runs through this distinctive accord, bringing it towards the light. In a play of soft light, sandalwood and benzoin harmonize, gradually blending into the depths of tonka bean, creating a moment that evokes timeless dreams.’ – Solferino
‘I wanted to perfectly convey love at first sight on this mythical quay, with the Musée d’Orsay and the Seine as a backdrop.’ – Anne Flipo
