Her remarkable career includes a seven-year stint on the Emmy Award-winning NBC series "ER." Recognized as a DISNEY LEGEND for bringing to life iconic characters like "Mulan," Agent May in "Marvel's Agents of Shield," and 'June' in "The Joy Luck Club" based on Amy Tan’s novel. She has recently showcased her talents through voice acting in HBO Max’s “Gremlins: Secrets of Mogwai” and on-screen in "The Mandalorian" and “The Book of Boba Fett.” Included in BBC’s list of 100 most influential women and People Magazine’s 50 most beautiful people, Ming-Na received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year.

Nabil Hayari, who trained at L’école Supdemod in Lyon and later caught the attention of La Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Parisienne, honed his skills during internships at Yves Saint Laurent and Azzedine Alaïa. His expertise in crystal beads, lace, chiffon drapes, and structured cuts developed further during his tenure at Diamant Blanc et Diamant Noir, where wedding gowns became his signature style. Teaming up with entrepreneur Hugues Alard, they founded HAYARI PARIS in 2009 and set up shop on Avenue Matignon alongside Dior and other esteemed couture brands in the Golden Triangle. His debut collection at Paris Fashion Week featuring wedding and evening gowns garnered immediate acclaim.
In 2011, Nabil was awarded the First Official Prize for his Black Wedding gown at the Carrousel du Louvre fashion show, before collaborating with Maison Robertet in Grasse to develop their inaugural perfume "Only For Her." Presently, the brand offers a collection of over 17 fragrances. In 2015, Hayari accessories made their debut, featuring a wide range of handbags, jewelry, and candles all showcased at the Hayari Parisian Boutique located in the Latin Quarter. Nabil's aspirations materialized when Bergdorf Goodman in New York dedicated a special section in their bridal salon for his wedding gowns. Across the nation, Nabil has held the esteemed position of the official designer for the Hollywood Beauty Awards for the past 7 years.
Flowers have been used in perfumery for a very long time. Moreover, they were the first plants to have their moment of glory during the time of Ancient Egypt, thanks to Queen Cleopatra. In particular, she liked to take baths filled with rose petals. However, these are no longer the only ones to adorn our cosmetic products today, far from it. Also, among the most enticing plants on the planet, the peony can boast of enhancing many feminine perfumes.
The peony is a plant native to various regions from Europe to the Far East. It is particularly prevalent in China and now encompasses around forty different species. In this country, it is associated with the city of Luoyang. The peony is a flower that belongs to the category of plants with tuberous roots. It was classified in the buttercup family for a long time but has belonged to a separate family since the 1950s, the peony family. Its green leaves contrast with its ball-shaped flowers of different colors depending on the categories. The peony is a plant that was already known to the Greeks as a remedy. It was used especially in case of possible miscarriages. Likewise, many magical properties were associated with it. Although these may seem completely perplexing in our time, Theophrastus wrote that "this plant should be uprooted at night; if it is uprooted during the day, and a woodpecker is seen picking the fruit, he said, one risks losing their eyes, and if the root is cut, one risks rectal prolapse." Similarly, the Chinese believed that the peony enriched the blood and strengthened the yin. It was also supposed to regulate the liver and relieve pain. Finally, note that Greek astrologers claimed that there was a unity between the cosmos and the elements of the earth. They described vertical chains linking deities, stars, stones, animals, plants, and parts of the body. For them, the peony was directly linked to the moon. Thus, it grew and diminished according to solar phases, and it was from this celestial power that it derived its numerous virtues. Today, all of these practices seem to have disappeared. However, we are left with its subtle scent...
Today, there is no shortage of feminine fragrances containing this radiant flower. Among the most famous are the iconic Alaïa Paris by Azzedine Alaïa, Amethyst by Lalique, Amor Amor Forbidden Kiss by Cacharel, and Ange ou Démon by Givenchy. Hayari Paris use white peonies in his fragrance "Only For Her" and many others

Magnolia is a gray tree with pink, white, and cream flowers. These flowers are tulip- or star-shaped and adorn this tree, which can grow up to 15 meters in height. Magnolia is a plant belonging to the magnolia family, which itself includes about one hundred and ten species. It is native to Asia and North America and has several varieties. It is worth noting that it is one of the oldest plants on the planet. In fact, magnolias appeared even before beetles. Some species of this flower date back to 20 million years! However, the ones of interest in perfumery are rather the Magnolia Grandiflora or the Magnolia Michela Alba, more recent species. This plant from the magnolia family, like the tulip tree, is named in tribute to the botanist Magnol in the 17th century. The picking of this tree is done from May to June and then from August to November. Two types of uses then oppose each other: that of its natural extract or its reproduction in the laboratory.
Among the many famous fragrances that honor magnolia, Guerlain's "L'Instant" stands out. Similarly, this plant is also present in "1881 Lumières d'Été" by Cerruti, in "Agent Provocateur" by the eponymous brand, in "Bright Crystal" by Versace, or in "Amarige Mariage" by Givenchy. And of Course "Only For Her" by Hayari Paris.

Situated in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, Cour du Commerce Saint-André is a curious little passageway dating from 1776. The old street includes small boutiques and the famous Le Procope, one of Paris’ oldest restaurants.
The 120 metre long passageway links rue Saint-André-des-Arts to Boulevard Saint-Germain and has a third entrance at 21 rue de l’Ancienne Comédie. The street is part of the neighbourhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés on the Left Bank.
It runs along the former fortification built by King Philip Augustus in the late 12th century. Part of the wall is still visible in a shop at number 4.
The bishop of Rouen had his Paris home base built there: the former Hôtel de Rohan. The mansion comprised a Jeu de Paume, a ball-and-court game, an indoor precursor of tennis played without racquets.

Following the building of Boulevard Saint-Germain in the 1860s, the urban planners cut back the passageway by about 40 metres. This resulted in the destruction of the house of Danton(1759-1794), a leading figure in the early stages of the French Revolution.
It was there, at number 9, that doctor Joseph Ignace Guillotin tried out his revolutionary invention: the guillotine. To make sure the deadly mechanism worked well, a number of sheep were beheaded by the sharp blade. Ouch!

]]>An invitation, a visit are always an opportunity to perfume oneself and to perfume or fumigate one's host, before being transported by the aromas of cinnamon, honey, almond, mint... that work wonders in Arab cuisine. We also taste with our noses! Yesterday as today, in the Arab world, the enjoyment of perfumes is meant to be shared!
The mythical incense route crosses Arabia and offers the world the fragrance of the gods, incense. It is also through its ports that the mysterious Indonesian oud, the mythical Himalayan musk, and so many other wonders arrive. This space is at the center of this civilization of scents which will then unfold from the Atlantic coasts to the banks of the Euphrates. Discovering this history of perfumes means talking about humanity and its incessant quest for harmony. It also means understanding a millennial aesthetic of life. From rare essence fields to the perfumer's workshop, from the streets of the medina to the hammam, from sacred space to the heart of the home, perfumes are, as Abdelwahab Bouhdiba rightly writes, "a permanent reconciliation of man with himself, with others, and with nature".
The history of perfumes begins with the discovery of the raw materials that compose them. Flowers, herbs, spices, and fragrant resins come from various regions. From the Mediterranean and Near Eastern countryside to the arid desert of Arabia to the far reaches of Asian rainforests and the Himalayan mountains, the collected essences have fueled the markets for fragrant products and the compositions of perfumers.
Since ancient times, Arabia, the land of frankincense, ambergris, and myrrh, has played a major role in perfume preparation. More broadly, the entire Arab world offers numerous flowers and spices that enrich these recipes.
Asia, the other land of perfumes
Since antiquity, the eastern shores of the Indian Ocean have been great providers of fragrant materials and spices. With the development of maritime and land routes, long-distance trade intensifies. Spices and new essences from Asia are fully integrated into Arab perfumery, cuisine, and pharmacopoeia. They are disseminated to the rest of the world from the great cities of the Muslim Empire.
The imported raw materials were initially of plant origin, such as oud wood, camphor, benzoin, spikenard, or copal. Oud wood, rare and highly regarded in Arab countries, grows in the forests of Southeast Asia. The use of animal-derived substances such as musk, civet, ambergris, or Byzantine beetles spread a little later, although some
Thanks to the development of navigation techniques and trade routes, products from Asia have been added to the available ingredients. From these distant regions, exceptional raw materials are brought back. For ethical reasons, some animal-derived essences are now replaced by synthetic aromas.
Myrrh and frankincense from Arabia
A land of rare rain and intense sun, Arabia is considered the land of perfume. Myrrh and frankincense, which thrive in arid lands, grow on its southern coasts and in the horn of Africa. These resins are derived from the exudations of the Commiphora myrrha and Boswellia sacra trees. Their cultivation is ancient and was long considered difficult. Ambergris, another emblematic essence of Arab perfumes, is collected mainly from the coasts of Yemen and Oman.
Highly prized and prestigious in the rest of the world, these products that are characteristic of the olfactory culture of Arabia have been pillars of its commercial civilization since ancient times. Located for centuries at the heart of the exchanges between East and West, the caravan routes that made its wealth were associated with their diffusion. They remain among the most representative essences of Eastern perfumes.
Musk, the most renowned olfactory material of Arab-Muslim civilization, is collected from male chevrotains in the Himalayan heights.
Flowers and aromatic plants are easily accessible materials, both for their harvesting and their cost. They grow on the outskirts of cities, and there is no need to pick them at the other end of the world. Used since ancient times, they are used in the production of perfumes, cosmetics, therapeutic and culinary recipes. While still cherished by the elites, they are more affordable for the lower classes. The rose enjoys a special status. Singled out by poets, symbol of beauty and spirituality, it is the ultimate flower. Cultivated from the Moroccan valleys to Isfahan via Damascus or the mountains of Oman, it can be found in many aspects of Arab culture. The narcissus, saffron, and jasmine are other emblematic flowers.
Perfumes and the Arab world have had a happy marriage for a long time.
Indeed, since ancient times, the Arab world has been the cradle of a civilization of scents. They benefit from a notable, very ancient, and rich consideration. The origin of this prosperous union dates back to the commercial culture of ancient Arabia, the land of incense and myrrh, which made exchanges of olfactory materials the source of its wealth and reputation. As a bearer of a perfume culture, he elevated it to the rank of a code of conduct and even an aesthetic of life.
Since then, perfumes are imbued with a strong symbolism, and their role in everyday life remains very much alive today. They permeate cultural, social, and intimate practices. Fragrances, ointments, oils, balms, waters, and fumigations can be found in many aspects of life: well-being and cosmetics, hospitality and coexistence, cuisine and medicine, seduction and religion... Sometimes, the same raw materials possess therapeutic, prophylactic, and culinary qualities that prevail over their aesthetic role and scents.
The exhibition tells the intimate relationship between perfumes and the Arab world. It highlights their long shared history, the smells that characterize their union, and the numerous customs that bind them, of which their social role is essential.

Chapter 1: The magical perfume
Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a woman named Éloïse. She was known for her beauty and her love of perfumes. Every day she walked through the flower fields, picking the most delicate petals to create unique scents.
One day, as she bent down to pick a rose, a fairy appeared before her. The fairy handed him a small bottle and said: "This perfume is magical. It will give you the power to make people happy."
Eloise was delighted and thanked the fairy. She returned home and began creating perfumes with the magic bottle. Each person who smelled its perfumes was overwhelmed by immense joy.

Chapter 2: The Witch's Jealousy
News of Eloise's magical perfumes spread quickly throughout the village. Everyone wanted to smell his wonderful creations. But there was one person who was jealous: an evil witch named Morgana.
Morgana was known for her wickedness and willingness to harm others. She decided to steal Eloise's magic bottle to gain her power.
One evening, while Éloïse was asleep, Morgane sneaked into her house and stole the bottle. She runs off into the night, laughing at her victory.

Chapter 3: The Return of Magic
When Éloïse woke up and discovered the magic bottle had disappeared, she was devastated. But she did not let herself be defeated. She knew she had to find the bottle for happiness to return to the village.
Éloïse set out in search of Morgane, following the clues left behind her. Eventually, she found her in a dark cave, laughing evilly as she breathed in the magical scent.
Without hesitation, Éloïse threw herself at Morgane and managed to recover the bottle. She opened the bottle and a cloud of magical perfume enveloped the witch.
Suddenly, Morgane transformed into a harmless little mouse. Éloïse had managed to defeat evil thanks to the power of her magical perfume.
Since that day, Éloïse has continued to create wonderful perfumes, bringing happiness and joy to all who smell them. And the village lived happily ever after, bathed in fragrant history.
