The Gift Le Cadeau
Basil, ylang-ylang, peach, and musk open in an unusual tangle — the basil green-herbal, the ylang-ylang creamy-banana-warm, the peach soft and fuzzy, the musk pushing things toward clean-skin from the first minute.

By the editors · 2 min readBasil, ylang-ylang, peach, and musk open in an unusual tangle — the basil green-herbal, the ylang-ylang creamy-banana-warm, the peach soft and fuzzy, the musk pushing things toward clean-skin from the first minute. It's a wide opening that feels both fresh and floral.
Jasmine, lily of the valley, and rose form a classic feminine heart — jasmine indolic and heady, lily watery, rose softly jammy. Aldehydic shimmer hovers over the bouquet, lending old-school sparkle.
Amber, vanilla, and musk land in the base, warm and plush. Overall character: an aldehydic-floral with a soft musky-vanilla close, polished and retro-feminine in feel. Moderate projection, holds steady for several hours, sits close to skin in the late drydown.
