By the editors · 2 min readA wide-bouqueted '90s floral chypre. Galbanum and bergamot snap green at the open, ylang-ylang already pushing creamy underneath, the citrus a brief sharpen rather than a long ride.
The heart is a soft riot — tuberose, jasmine, lily, lily of the valley, iris, violet, rose stacked in layers that read more couture than literal garden, each flower polished against the others into one shimmering accord.
Vetiver and oakmoss pull a classic chypre floor underneath; amber and vanilla warm it, cedar and musk hold it close. Polished, mature, ballroom-coded — distinct from the sheer florals that came after it.
