Un Air d'Amour pour Madame

By the editors · 2 min readMagnolia and ylang-ylang create a creamy tropical opening that immediately feels humid and slightly banana-sweet. The heart layers cinnamon heat over tuberose indoles, while sandalwood and patchouli add a woody-spiced backbone that keeps the white flowers from turning syrupy. Clove and cedar sharpen the mix, giving the florals a dry, almost pencil-shaving edge. In the base, incense smoke threads through raspberry and stone-fruit jam, turning the earlier creaminess into a resinous, darkly sweet skin scent that still carries candied magnolia petals. Projection stays moderate, radiating about handshake distance for six hours; it reads as a sultry, spiced white floral suited to cool fall evenings or air-conditioned date venues.
