Creator of Hespérides Idylliques
At Poécile, olfactory creation is never a simple exercise in style. It's inhabited, inspired and deeply human. This is what makes Marie Schnirer, nose perfumer and creator of several fragrances for the house: Hespérides Idylliques, Arcadie Florale and Rose Lutèce, so unique. Born in Paris, Marie has always drawn inspiration from her memories, emotions and travels. Long fascinated by blackcurrant buds, a fetish scent linked to a tender moment shared with her mother, she is now particularly fond of roses, which she describes as “delicate and complex”, demanding and infinitely expressive.
These contrasts, this emotional richness, are reflected in the way she composes. Each perfume she imagines tells a personal story, yet one that is open to the universal. It's an art of storytelling as much as of substance. At Poécile, she has found a house in her image: committed, free and inspired by the French territories.
Hespérides Idylliques: a summer by the sea
Hespérides Idylliques occupies a special place among our sunniest creations. This unisex fragrance is an invitation to escape, a vibrant tribute to the Côte d'Azur, its citrus orchards and the golden light of late afternoons. It conjures up memories of vacations, walks among lemon trees, the freshness of a limoncello sipped in the shade, laughter mingled with the warm scent of mimosa.
The composition opens with a lively, sparkling burst of bergamot, lemon, mandarin and verbena. Top notes that snap like a summer breeze on the skin. The heart of the fragrance is rounder, floral and luminous, with generous mimosa, enveloping jasmine, breathtaking aquatic notes and a gourmand limoncello accord. At the base, creamy musk, a calisson accord with accents of almond and candied melon, and a hint of ambrox anchor this sensory voyage in softness and duration.
Hespérides Idylliques is much more than a simple citrus fragrance: it's a subtle, joyful olfactory construction, designed to evoke both carefreeness and elegance. A work of light and contrast, it can be worn on both men's and women's skin. This is Marie's art: imagining unisex fragrances that are modern and sensitive, without ever sacrificing poetry.
Memory as raw material
For Marie Schnirer, each composition is an extension of her own experience. She is inspired not just by places or materials, but by feelings. Her creative process is intuitive, almost narrative. She evokes her favorite landscapes with great accuracy: "I could have answered Provence, the pine trees, the heat, the endless summer evenings, the memories... But I love Haute-Savoie just as much, the gastronomy, the space, the intoxicating landscapes, the calm and serenity. It's grandiose."
We find this duality in Hespérides Idylliques: the solar warmth of a dreamy South and the fresh purity of an Alpine landscape. It's a fragrance built like a balance between the elements, between fire and water, fruit and flower. Nothing is forced, everything is fluid. This gives his creations a real emotional modernity.
A French perfumery rooted in Auvergne
What makes the collaboration between Marie Schnirer and Poécile so strong is this shared link with the land. While Marie creates in Paris, she composes for a company based in Auvergne, where the values of French creation rhyme with the demands of craftsmanship, respect for materials and the search for meaning.
Poécile embodies a new-generation perfumery from Auvergne: inclusive, audacious, proud of its roots, but always looking to the future. The fragrances are conceived as sensory narratives, designed for all, without gender, without label. Unisex fragrances that respect the skin, the imagination and the environment.
With Hespérides Idylliques, Poécile offers a creation that perfectly embodies this spirit: fresh, expressive, delicate, deeply French, but above all Auvergne in its human and sincere approach.
Perfume as a declaration of self
Wearing a perfume means choosing a sensitive trail. It's agreeing to say something without speaking. It's letting an emotion flow through us. With Hespérides Idylliques, this emotion is that of an unforgettable summer, of an orchard by the sea, of skin warmed by the sun and cooled by the wind. A feeling that stays with you for a long time, like a happy trace.
By restoring the value of memories, details and nuances, Marie offers a perfumery at human level. Each bottle becomes a breath, a pause, a way of reconnecting with oneself.
