All compositions

hon·lea·woo·amb

Ted Lapidus · 1975

Vu par Ted Lapidus

Honey dominates the heart, thick and waxy, drawing sweetness from jasmine while clove pricks the edges with warm spice.

mos·lea·pat·amb

Nina Ricci · 1956

Fille d'Eve

Oakmoss dominates the opening, releasing a bitter-green cloud that immediately mutes the brief peach and bergamot sparkle.

Paco Rabanne

Vu par Ted Lapidus

Ivoire de Balmain

Paco Rabanne · 1969

Calandre

Calandre opens with a sharp flash of aldehydes and bergamot that feels almost metallic, like sunlight glancing off polished chrome.

yel·aro·war·whi

Emilio Pucci · 1965

Vivara (1965)

Galbanum slashes first, a bitter-green blade that bleeds chlorophyll over bergamot's bright oil.

tub·flo·mos·ros

Yves Saint Laurent · 1964

Y

Y opens with a sharp, resinous galbanum that slices through gardenia's white petals and a hint of overripe peach.

mos·flo·woo·fre

Nina Ricci · 1973

Farouche

Farouche opens with the green snap of galbanum cut by peach and bergamot — a counterintuitive combination that feels both fresh and faintly bitter, classic of mid-seventies French composition.

cit·iri·pow·mos

Pierre Balmain · 1979

Ivoire de Balmain

A brilliant crack of galbanum and citrus announces Ivoire de Balmain with typical late-seventies bravado, all bitter greenness and bergamot brightness.
