By the editors · 2 min readThe name comes from 1922, the year it was created by Ernest Beaux alongside No. 5. Where No. 5 became the legend, No. 22 retreated into cult status. The opening is clean and bright — neroli and lily of the valley establishing a fresh, green-white clarity.
Then tuberose arrives, and the composition pivots: that white flower in this concentration pulls jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose into its gravitational field. Vetiver in the base provides a dry, earthy anchor that keeps the florals from becoming saccharine; vanilla rounds the drydown without sweetening it excessively. In the Les Exclusifs EDP format, projection is studied and deliberate — most suited to cold-weather wear and formal occasions.
