Christian Tortu is best known for revolutionizing the art of bouquet-making by blending flowers, plants, fruits, and vegetables into unique compositions— offering a direct interpretation of nature free from artifice. The story of Christian Tortu—the man, the florist, and the designer—begins in his parents’ garden in the countryside of Anjou. A lover of nature from a very young age, he soon realized upon arriving in Paris how much the capital lacked the natural beauty he had known. From this realization came his desire to share with Parisians his free and almost wild vision of nature.
With Christian Tortu, the plant world becomes a means of travel—an escape from well-trodden paths toward a place free from prejudice and convention. His talent for floral composition has travelled the world, from the Cannes Film Festival to the most prestigious fashion shows. Today, his boutiques are the perfect place to rediscover nature through unique sensory journeys.
The available fragrances have been turned into scented candles, spray diffusers, liquid soaps, and potpourri.
