By the editors · 2 min readPlum and black currant open ripe and slightly tart, with bergamot and a rose accent already pulling the composition toward the floral middle.
The heart is iris-led — powdery, cool, slightly metallic — joined by jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, freesia and rose into a dense bouquet. The composition takes on an aldehydic shimmer that gives it vintage edges, the iris keeping it serious rather than girlish.
White musk, amber, vanilla, cedar and patchouli form a smooth, slightly powdery base. Overall character: a powdery iris-rose floral with a fruity-aldehydic surface. The iris keeps the composition cool-tempered throughout. The rose stays consistent through every stage rather than fading.
