Nicolas Cloutier – The orchid fascinates me. Poetic and sensual at the same time.

“The orchid fascinates me. Poetic and sensual at the same time.”
“The orchid is a very mysterious flower that fascinates me. The flower has a sexual connotation, both due to what it looks like and in literature. This makes me think of Proust, of course, who used the expression ‘make cattleya’ whenever he talked about love. This flower, some of which smell a bit of vanilla and greenery, grows in trees, as if from an enchanted forest, like in our imagination.
The orchid has a prominent spot at Nose, including in the jasmine we have outside, as if it were in its natural habitat. At home, I have jasmine in the bathroom, where they get enough light, not too direct, and it is nice and humid. The cattleya is my favourite, because of what Proust said about it… and that inspires me tremendously!”
