Un Zephir de Rose

By the editors · 2 min readBasil opens with a crisp, peppery-green snap that slices through the first rose burst, giving the flower a stem-like snap rather than velvet petals. Anise threads a subtle licorice shimmer between the leaves, turning the accord cool and slightly metallic before Bulgarian rose lands in the heart with fuller, jammy weight. That heart rose is still aerated by the lingering basil, so the effect stays buoyant instead of plush, more garden breeze than boudoir pillow. Damask rose in the base keeps the theme alive but dries it down to a papery, almost tea-leaf quietness that hugs skin close. Projection stays within arm’s length for about five hours, making it an easy daytime wear that reads fresh-green rather than sweet. Cool spring mornings or shaded summer patios feel right; office-safe, yet unmistakably rosy to anyone leaning in.
