By the editors · 2 min readEau du Désir keeps the bottle's vine motif but jettisons the licorice. The opening is a clean citrus aromatic — lemon verbena and a generic citrus accord — that reads almost like a body splash for the first few minutes.
The heart is the only moment that points back at the house's signature: violet and Sambac jasmine pulled gently together, powder against white-floral creaminess, with no anise to break the mood. It's restrained where the parent line is theatrical.
Musk closes it skin-close. There's almost no base architecture — a deliberate choice for an EDT meant to be light and reapplied. Spring, hot weather, sleep-perfume territory. Doesn't replace the originals so much as fill the warm-month gap in the line.
