One autumn twenty years ago a small French boy picked up a chestnut in the park at the Château de Versailles, took it home and planted it in his garden. These blossoms are the result. Flowering chestnut trees are still in bloom around Paris, but not for much longer. Since shooting these close-ups I'm determined to find its fragrance bottled in a perfume.
