By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and galbanum open green and orange-blossom-bitter, the galbanum giving the citrus an immediately leafy, almost vegetal sharpness. It's a polished, slightly old-school opening.
Tuberose, jasmine and lily of the valley step in as the centrepiece, a creamy white-floral chord with tuberose dominant and slightly camphorous. The flowers stay opulent throughout the heart, the lily of the valley adding a thin green dewiness that keeps the tuberose from going entirely buttery.
Sandalwood and musk in the base smooth the floral richness into a soft creamy finish. The overall character is a classical white-floral with a green opening, formal in shape and tilted toward evening and cool-weather wear.
