What's the secret behind your favourite beauty products?

The ethereal glow of camellia, the sweet scent of rose, the eccentric allure of orchid—meet the iconic blossoms that share a romantic history with these beauty majors.

Chanel + Camellia

From love at first sight when Camellia was gifted by her then-lover, to silk brooches on her lapels and now this nourishing serum—the flower flourishes in Coco Chanel's ageless aesthetic.

Guerlain + White Orchid

So passionate is Guerlain's love affair with the flower that it has an experimental garden and a green house—an Orchidarium—that stocks a collection of over 100 rare orchid species from all over the world.

Lancôme + Rose

They created their first-ever rose in a vibrant fuchsia, La Rose Lancôme in 1973, chosen from 20,000 hybrid varieties for its unparalleled beauty—now used in most of Lancôme’s star products.

L'Occitane + Immortelle

A flower that never fades—to keep this golden bloom's immortality unharmed, L'Occitane has its own sustainable organic plantation of immortelle in Corsica.

Burt's Bees + White Daisy

Wild-harvested from the mountains of Macedonia, these daisies have been natural protagonists in Burts Bees' skin-brightening potions.

Forest Essentials + Mogra

Plucked before the break of dawn, Forest Essentials has been using Mālatī, or a strain of jasmine, in its ancient Indian formulations for its unparalleled purity and seductive scent right, from the very beginning.
