By the editors · 2 min readHemlock & Bergamot, from the Wild Flowers & Weeds series by Yann Vasnier and Louise Turner, opens on a cold green: hemlock's powdery petal facet against bergamot, with cucumber tucked underneath for a watery cut.
The heart turns yellow. Mimosa and cassie bring pollen and honey-floral warmth, heliotrope adds a soft almond powder, and the composition tilts gradually from canal-side green to something closer to a meadow at noon. Birch leaves keep a green astringency through to the base, where white musk closes things gently.
It holds a few hours, sits close, and reads as botanical rather than perfumed. A cool-weather daytime scent.
