LOTUS STORM® is an exquisite base created by Master Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, exclusively for Fraterworks. Inspired by the iconic Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea)—the sacred flower treasured by ancient Egypt—this innovative composition captures the flower’s rich floral elegance, captivating fruity nuances, and alluring earthy warmth and layers it with a diaphanous jasmine note and galbanum. Traditionally associated with ritual, trance, and twilight, Blue Lotus takes on a new dimension in The Night Garden: a sacred bloom that seems to awaken only when the world is quiet. Scent Profile LOTUS STORM® opens with the aroma of a serene, shadowed pond. Dew-kissed foliage entwines with the earthy depth of galbanum and warm whispers of beeswax, brightened by delicate fruity nuances. At its heart unfolds an entrancing bouquet, as the mystical fragrance of blue lotus flowers rises gracefully amid an abundant cascade of night-scented jasmine. Soft, creamy white florals lend a velvety finish. With the first light of dawn, the fragrance gently recedes, leaving behind a subtly spiced, musky echo of the Night Garden. Perfumery Usage LOTUS STORM® is formulated to deliver exceptional authenticity, longevity, and complexity, making it ideal both as a complete base or as a distinctive note within fragrance formulations. It blends seamlessly with aquatic materials such as Amazonia®, Cascalone®, Melozone®, and luxurious florals like Tuberose Absolute and Egyptian Jasmine, opening endless creative possibilities for perfumers. Process Crafted from a carefully balanced combination of premium natural ingredients and specialised molecules, LOTUS STORM® embodies the highest standards of scent artistry. Its creation represents an unprecedented collaboration between Fraterworks’ creative leadership and Master Perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, ensuring unmatched sophistication and quality. Background Fraterworks identified a unique opportunity in the fragrance market—the absence of an accessible yet authentically crafted Blue Lotus base. Partnering with celebrated perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, renowned for iconic fragrances such as Amouage Jubilation XXV, Timbuktu by L'Artisan Parfumeur, and Comme des Garçons Series 3 Incense: Avignon, LOTUS STORM® was meticulously developed and introduced directly to the public, marking a pioneering achievement unequalled by other fragrance houses. LOTUS STORM® is the Sacred Bloom of The Night Garden—evocative of still water, ancient rites, and the quiet power of scent in the dark.
