Every perfume in Sillage is represented as a distribution across canonical accord slugs — a lingua franca for scent. Two fragrances with overlapping fingerprints are scent-twins, even if they share no literal note.

By the editors · 2 min readA brief bergamot opening gives way almost immediately to the heart: tuberose, jasmine, narcissus, lily of the valley, and rose all at once — dense and unapologetic. This is maximalist white floral architecture from 1985, built for a room with a dress code. The narcissus in particular gives it a slightly green, rubbery edge that separates it from purely sweet arrangements.
The base is what keeps it interesting: oakmoss and leather introduce a green-animalic quality rarely found in contemporary releases, vetiver adds austerity, and patchouli's earthiness prevents the amber from going sweet. It wears distinctly of its era — projecting and formal, with a backbone built for evening wear or occasions that warrant intensity.
