By the editors · 2 min readVolupté arrives in melon and freesia — a combination that was still novel in 1992, giving the opening a transparent freshness before osmanthus and mimosa add apricot-tea and powdery-floral notes. The heart is densely packed: jasmine rich and indolic, ylang-ylang creamy and tropical, heliotrope with its powdery almond-cherry quality, lily of the valley dewy and clean, peony softly pink, narcissus honeyed and dark. The base deepens into incense, tuberose, sandalwood, and patchouli — a serious oriental foundation that anchors the sunny floral top without absorbing it. A 90s white-floral oriental of genuine ambition.
