The New Scent of A Walk Along the Ponds 

The sun hung low over the town of Bousval, casting long golden shadows across the pond. Someone wandered on the grassy trails, the warm air carrying the scent of citrus, earth, and wild herbs. These were summers spent under open skies, fishing by the water, and gardening in your yard. Life was simple. Years later, those memories return, not in pictures, but as a fragrance: No.12 Bousval.

No.12 Bousval is more than just a fragrance; it is a memory captured in a bottle. It was named after the hometown of the founder of the house, Maison Louis Marie’s mother. This scent captures the magic of warm summer evenings spent in the Belgian countryside, on the River Dyle. There, among the quiet trails and bright ponds, days were filled with the simple joys of nature in summer: walking four loyal collie dogs, catching fish, and gathering vegetables from the garden.

This nostalgic scent spreads with bright top notes of Valencia Orange, Italian Bergamot, and bold white Cardamom, recalling the golden light of dusk. At its heart, Ginger flower blends with the invigorating freshness of Eucalyptus and the grounding presence of Oakmoss, creating a dynamic and earthy core. The base lingers with rich woods and misted Musk, giving the fragrance a modern and deeply personal warmth.

The roll-on perfume is an Extrait, which contains 20% to 40% oil. This oil glides effortlessly onto the skin, releasing the fragrance precisely where it lingers longest, at the pulse points of the neck, chest, and wrists. It’s a perfect discreet gesture, a touch of scent just for you throughout the day.

The candle allows the fragrance to fill the room with warmth. For a clean burn, allow the wax to melt evenly during the first two hours of use. To preserve its scent and beauty, avoid burning for more than three hours at a time, and gently trim the candle wick before each use. It’s a simple ritual for a perfect flame.

The fragrance is an Eau de Parfum, which contains 15% to 20% fragrance oil. It comes to life with the warmth of your skin. A few delicate sprays on your pulse points, such as wrists, neck, or even the creases of your knees and elbows. It reveals the full depth of the scent. Reapply as desired and allow your fragrance evolve with you throughout the day.

No.12 Bousval is a tribute to the summer quiet adventures, a fragrance story of place, memory, and nature.
