By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain snaps open with bitter-green sparkle, framing the forthcoming white bouquet. Gardenia, lily-of-the-valley and freesia fuse into a creamy white-floral heart that turns slightly fruity as plum adds dark-juicy sweetness; iris slips in a cool, carrot-like powder that keeps the bouquet from turning syrupy. The base is crowded: tonka, vanilla, honey and caramel melt together into a thick amber-gourmand lava, while sandalwood, cedar and guaiac supply dry woodsmoke, oakmoss and vetiver contribute earthy undergrowth, and myrrh, labdanum and patchouli lend a resinous, faintly medicinal shadow. Musks act as silent diffusers, letting the sweetness radiate outward for hours while the woods slowly dominate the skin.
