By the editors · 2 min readThe Ingénue Cousin Flora is a deliberate three-note exercise: citrus, musk, ambroxan. The opening is bright, slightly bitter, the kind of citrus that smells of zest rather than juice.
Almost immediately the citrus flattens against a clean white musk and ambroxan emerges as the real subject — radiant, salty-mineral, the modern transparent amber that reads more skin than perfume. There is no floral middle, no spice, no transition by tier. The structure is intentional, not sparse: a character drawn in three lines.
It sits very close to skin and behaves more as a personal cleanness than a perfume. Three to five hours, projection minimal. The Portrait analogue of a clean white shirt — designed to disappear into rather than announce.
