By the editors · 2 min readA mid-'70s aldehydic floral with the polish of its era. Bergamot opens bright and brief, the heart quickly taking over: jasmine, rose, ylang-ylang and neroli arranged in a wide bouquet, with heliotrope and iris adding a soft, almond-tinged powder.
Lily of the valley keeps the air around it green and luminous, preventing the heart from going too plush.
The base is deep and classical — sandalwood, vetiver, benzoin, amber, patchouli, tonka and Virginia cedar, musk holding the rest together. The final impression is powdered, slightly resinous, formal in a way that has aged into nostalgic. Cool-season, dressed-up wear.
