Grand Bal (2018)
A floral built around orange blossom and bergamot at the opening — bright, clean, with the slight green edge bergamot can carry when it isn't sweetened.

By the editors · 2 min readA floral built around orange blossom and bergamot at the opening — bright, clean, with the slight green edge bergamot can carry when it isn't sweetened.
In the heart jasmine and ylang-ylang stack their two creamy whites, peach threading through to soften the edges and keep the white florals from skewing too indolic. The base lands on white musk and sandalwood for a smooth, slightly milky drydown rather than a heavier woody-amber close.
A sunny, evening-leaning floral that wears easily across seasons. Closer to celebration than seduction — bridal or party-floor energy rather than a tight after-dark composition.
