A flamboyant pairing of hot and sensual moods, Andalusia shimmers in a blaze of passion. Sun kissed leather is a multifaceted woman, sneaker, untameable - whose beauty is totally unique.

She is scrumptiously sweet when her rolling hills are sheathed in orange trees brimming in juicy fruit and precious blooms. She is a graceful, dazzling flamenco dancer. she is noble equestrian thirsting for freedom astride her jet black stallion. she bravely defies the power of the bull with her cunning wit. a radiant smile and ember eyes. she is the sun and the shadows. 

The wind in her hair, she is fire, land and sea. She embodies the elegance of Cordoba, the richness of Grenada, the charm of Cadix, the soul of Seville and the nonchalance of Marbella. In the heat of the Andalusian summer, she waves her fan, enhancing the diverse dimension of each bouquet. the warm of sunbakes leather, the charm of an iris garden sprayed with a mist of bergamot, sweet lime and citron.

David Jourquin’s childhood was split between the gentle spirit of his mother, steeped in exotic fragrances, and the strong character of his grandmother, who liked having everything in its proper place.

Each morning, his mother would slip into her leather coat before kissing him goodbye and dashing off to work. Invariably, her perfume would mingle with the magical scent of the supple hide, leaving an indelible mark on the first few moments of his day.

His radiant grandmother welcomed him day after day, echoing the scent of her shiny waxed wood floors. He was always rather amused by her of habit of sprinkling a few drops of Saint-Michel Eau de Cologne on the cushions of her lounge chair.

Somewhat withdrawn but still attentive, his father smoked cigars and sometimes brought David to the market in Pointe-à-Pitre where the young boy revelled in the sweet, powerful aromas of all the spices.
