Le Temps d'une Fête

The heart is built on narcissus and jasmine. Narcissus contributes the hay-like, slightly indolic edge that keeps the perfume from going delicate; jasmine adds the soft animal undertow. It feels like a meadow at dusk rather than a bouquet.
Sandalwood, oakmoss, and patchouli in the base land the perfume firmly in classical chypre territory — earthy, dry, a little stern. The drydown stays close to skin, persistent and unfussy. A scent for considered moods.
