For the first installment in our fragrance series, the olfactory duo discusses their unisex scent, Falling Trees.

Ezra Woods and Alia Raza are bringing a youthful, creative edge to fragrance. When they founded R&eacute;gime des Fleurs in 2014, Woods came from a styling background and Raza from video art. This has led to an aesthetic-driven approach to scent organized by collections: Fait Main started it all by marketing the founders&rsquo; handmade, artisan experiments, Personal/Space focuses on the body and environment, and Artefacts is nostalgic for ancient times. As many 21st-century entrepreneurs do, the duo started and grew their brand through their website and social media, but earlier this year, they opened their first storefront atelier earlier this year in Los Angeles. The space is minimalist chic with its white walls, flowers, and clean shelving, which seems to indicate that even though fans can finally enjoy an in-person experience, they may want to snap a photo and send the visually pleasing vibes right back to Instagram.

Embracing a world that&nbsp;increasingly challenges the gender binary, the majority of R&eacute;gime des Fleurs&rsquo; fragrances are unisex. This includes their entire Pour Tous collection, a quintet of eaux de perfume taking inspiration from the sublime drama of the botanical kingdom. A standout from this line is Falling Trees, a fresh and smoldering mix of oak, myrrh, tree moss, olibanum, and the essential oils of elemi, juniper, and cypriol. True to its name, the fragrance emanates understanding, connection, and renewal, making it the perfect inaugural subject of L&#39;Officiel Nose. Below, Woods and Raza discuss their arboreal creation by answering some fun questions.
