A Promise in White Sandrine - Grandiflora Saskia Havekes and Sandrine Videault 2013

Abbey Lee Kershaw - Flaunt Magazine 2015

Grandiflora Sandrine – Saskia Havekes and Sandrine Videault. :  It is beautiful and apt that as the Perfumer Sandrine Videault departed this life, she left us this profound promise of Eternal Return, in one of her last creations. Verdant and sharp vestments of citrus and pepper, wispy heralds like attendants scattering petals upon a wedding path. Grandiflora Sandrine, the emergent bride on the threshold, milk-white skin secreted away in encasement through colder months.  Sandrine captures the glossy greenness of Magnolia foliage, yet the focus is downy calyx and purest waxy candle of Magnolia capsule, tight and embraced. Garden accords and woods layer potent latency, poised on the verge of the explosion of lustrous, lathered fragrance. Nascent, poised bud released from its marron velvet casement, a fragrance reminiscent of the silken Lanugo of a baby. Musky parting as the buds yield their cocoon-like embrace, shedding a few dewy tears of saline exudate, heralding the entrance-ment of the triumphant bloom. The defeat of Winters stagnancy is inscribed boldly on this creamy floral, viridis parchment.
