Somethings About Flowers

Inspired by the flower fields in Grasse, and the tuberose specifically, from which Gabrielle Chanel Essence fragrance is created, we invited three young female artists to talk about coming-of-age and the scents that defined their youth in a short film, “Some Things About Flowers" directed by Bunny Kinney. Singer and songwriter, Cosima, poet Lily Ashley and singer Evangeline Lily perform their own writing, about flora, growth and coming of age as well as including spoken word poetry and song, and extracts from French poet Mark André Raffalovich's 1855 love poem "Tuberose and Meadowsweet" throughout the film. The women are paired with footage captured in Grasse's famed harvest fields in full bloom.
