The compositions
Glacier Air
Cassis Frénésie Roger & Gallet
Cassis Frenesie
Beach Hut Man
Beach Hut Man opens with a jolt of green—galbanum sharp as snapped stems, mint cool but not sweet, orange blossom lending a faint bitter floral edge.
Affecting Mind M.INT
Affecting Mind
Floral Touch So Fresh
Sunshine Woman
Sunshine Woman opens with an unexpected coolness—almond milk laced with tart blackcurrant, more temperate garden than Mediterranean glare.
Nymphessence
Nymphessence Roos & Roos
Celsius
Lilac Love
Lilac Love opens with a cascade of white and pastel florals that feel surprisingly light despite their richness—gardenia and jasmine lead, softened by heliotrope's powdery sweetness and the dewy transparency of peony.
Made of Instinct
Sunkissed Garden
Melodie
Lancelot
Blossom Love
Blossom Love opens with a powdery heliotrope that feels both vintage and unexpectedly airy, a softness lifted by bergamot's citrus brightness.
Love Mimosa
Love Mimosa opens with a cool iris accord—powdery and almost metallic—that feels more like pressed petals than fresh blooms.
