Cristal del Iberá
from €36.00
Flor de Hueso explores the roots of identity and elevates the poetry of one of the most emblematic ingredients in the history of perfumery: Tuberose. Native to Mexico and long used in traditional and therapeutic practices, tuberose is revered for its powerful scent and longevity. In Aztec culture, it was known asómíxöchitl — “bone flower” — a name that reflects both its pale bloom and symbolic depth. This perfume reflects not only the flower, but also the land, memory, and culture that shape it: a lost chapter, rediscovered through Julian’s imagination.
“I created Flor de Hueso to reflect the true scent of tuberose: not an abstract interpretation, but the flower as it is. We used supercritical CO₂ extraction to capture its full olfactory profile, sourcing the plant from Mexico, its native origin. Tuberose from Mexico has a very different character than the Indian variety commonly used in perfumery: more nuanced, more faithful to the living flower. Pairing it with Bursera linaloe copal from Oaxaca was a deliberate choice. This copal is unlike the ones we’ve used before, it's lighter, more floral, and uniquely suited to tuberose. The Aztecs burned tuberose petals over copal in ceremonial rituals, their connection is therefore not only olfactory, but deeply cultural and historical.” - Julian Bedel

The aromatic profile of Flor de Hueso is composed by three ingredients that are deeply rooted in Mexican ethnobotany: tuberose, vanilla, and copal.
Tuberose reigns with its unmistakable intensity, characterized by an openly carnal, overpowering profile. The flower is processed using supercritical CO2 extraction, a method that preserves its true-to-nature character: waxy, green, with subtle balsamic nuances.
Copal resin from the Bursera linanoe tree adds a citrusy clarity and ritualistic depth, evoking ancient Aztec ceremonies where tuberose petals were laid atop burning copal.
The vanilla, mild, smooth, and distilled in-house , binds the composition with a barely-there sweetness, a whisper from the past.
