Missive15 Eau de Parfum

Nothing makes the heart skip a beat more intensely than finding a long-forgotten letter from a loved one, maybe inside the pages of a book, maybe in the bottom of a rarely opened drawer. Our reading stops at every word and our eyes become teary. We revive not only the moment those lines describe, we live again that same instant when we read the letter for the first time. Just like our memory gets a bolt because of a scent, written words etch themselves in our souls and make us feel stronger, more loved, more alive.

Why we're addicted: Exotic, complex notes that merge together into a beautiful oriental woody abstraction.

After accepting an offer and moving from her native Seattle to New York City to become fragrance marketing director for a prominent menswear design house in 2009, founder Maria Christofilis met and began working with some of the most celebrated perfumers in the world.

Her welcome by this inner circle of distinguished perfumers was highlighted by a personal gift from master perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, of the prestigious Swiss fragrance house, Givaudan®. Named Fleur09-the essence of the flower, it immediately became Maria’s signature scent and a personal treasure. And the more she wore it, the more she realized it was a treasure to be shared.
