Miss Dior
The original Miss Dior opens with a green sharpness—galbanum and sage cutting through gardenia's creamy heft—before cascading into a white floral avalanche.
Lanvin · 1927
Arpege
The opening is a bright collision of neroli and peach against a wall of lily of the valley, immediately softened by bergamot.
