By the editors · 2 min readThe Favourite announces itself with a powdered violet and freesia accord that feels both aristocratic and approachable, like stepping into a well-kept drawing room where fresh flowers have been arranged since morning. There's an immediate softness here, never sharp, that suggests historical rather than modern luxury.
As it settles, iris and mimosa deepen the impression, bringing a honeyed, slightly green texture that hovers between floral and subtly fruity. The mimosa adds a delicate warmth without tipping into sweetness, while the iris maintains that characteristic root-like coolness beneath the petals.
The base is clean and skin-close—sandalwood provides gentle woodiness, ambroxan a transparent radiance, musk a soft fade. This is for those who want florals that whisper rather than proclaim, who appreciate restraint over drama. It evokes Georgian England through a contemporary lens: refined, composed, and entirely comfortable with understatement.
