​

To illustrate the Nymphéas painting, I was inspired by three major elements, which characterize part of Monet's works: light, colours and water. It plays on synaesthesia with the association of colours and smells.

I wanted to transcribe the pastel shades of pink and blue and create a fresh and luminous fragrance, limpid and soothing. A bouquet of fresh, moist flowers, with water-filled petals, lulled by white musks, illustrating the large clouds reflected in the pond.
