'Immortelle' is an oriental and gourmand fragrance - a part of the Manos Gerakinis's Heritage Collection. Manos describes the scent as Fortune, inspired by the good luck charm that the Everlasting Flower stands for.
Immortelle is a yellow flower found in Greek nature, representing Immortal Beauty. Its story dates back to the Trojan war. During Helen's capture, she asked Paris to validate her beauty against Venus. Paris replied: "Do you not see this flower? Your hair shares the same golden color, and your body smells like the flower while your skin is as soft as its petals. Your beauty will be everlasting".
Manos' interpretation of this honeyed note is on the sweet and spicy accents, with notes of cinnamon. The result is resinous without being heavy, balanced with sandalwood and benzoin, and the musky depth of the perfume gets better when it dries down and stays poised for hours.
