A Grove by the Sea Takes Over the Window at Les Senteurs

We're so proud to share our latest activation: a beautiful window at Les Senteurs in Belgravia celebrating A Grove by the Sea by Arquiste.

Les Senteurs is one of London's most celebrated perfumeries and is known around the world for its expert curation. It's a destination for fragrance lovers, so a window here is a real honour. It's a very special showcase for a very special brand partner.

The Fragrance

Arquiste was founded by architect Carlos Huber, and every scent recreates a precise moment in history. A Grove by the Sea takes you to Lopud Island on Croatia's Adriatic coast in August 1508. There, fig and olive groves meet forests of pine and cypress, wild herbs cover the hills, and the salty sea breeze carries it all across the harbour.

Created with perfumer Rodrigo Flores Roux, it opens with Adriatic fig leaves, black olive, sea salt and Croatian clementine. At its heart are ripe fig, olive oil, thyme and rosemary, over a warm base of Mediterranean pine, fir balsam, cypress and red clay. It's sunlit, green and completely transporting.

The Window

We wanted the window to capture that same feeling of an island grove by the sea, and we're thrilled with the result. It looks stunning, stops people in their tracks on the street and brings the world of A Grove by the Sea to life in the heart of Belgravia.

If you're nearby, please pop in to see it for yourself and discover the fragrance with the wonderful Les Senteurs team.
