Pois de Senteur
Pois de Senteur opens with a soft white-floral haze — jasmine and lily of the valley reading more dewy than indolic, with ylang-ylang and orange blossom thickening the air just enough to feel old-world rather than modern.

Underneath, a tart lime sharpens the floral heart for the first half-hour, then recedes into a clean sandalwood-and-cedar drydown. The musk is dosed quietly; it gives the base length without sweetness, which is unusual for a sweet-pea soliflore.
What lasts on skin is a powder-light wood, the kind of close, almost-soap drydown that early Caron extraits do better than anyone. A small fragrance, not a loud one — sat at the dressing table rather than the ballroom.
