The compositions
Caron · 1985
Le 3e Homme de Caron
The opening strikes immediately with medicinal lavender and anise—clean but never clinical, more apothecary cabinet than bathroom shelf.
Hermès · 1984

Hermès · 2000
Rouge Hermes Hermès
Rouge Hermès opens with an unexpected contradiction: a rose that feels silvery and almost metallic, tempered by the powdery coolness of iris and a fleeting ylang-ylang brightness.
Hermès · 2000
Rouge Hermes
Rouge Hermès opens with a luminous iris-rose accord softened by the honeyed sweetness of ylang-ylang, creating an immediate impression of refined femininity without the usual sharp citrus fanfare.
Diptyque · 2000
Oyedo Eau de Toilette
Oyédo opens with an immediate citrus rush—yuzu, lemon, and grapefruit colliding in a tart, almost electric brightness.
