Ivoire

Ivoire arrives with the green precision of the classic chypre school — violet leaf and galbanum opening into a cool, slightly vegetal freshness that belongs to an earlier decade of femininity.

By the editors · 2 min readIvoire arrives with the green precision of the classic chypre school — violet leaf and galbanum opening into a cool, slightly vegetal freshness that belongs to an earlier decade of femininity. The floral heart is full and considered: jasmine and ylang-ylang lending richness, iris adding a powdery counterbalance, rose tying it together. Vetiver and patchouli in the base give it earthy depth; cedar lends structure; vanilla softens the landing. This is a fragrance in the tradition of green florals that defined serious feminine perfumery before the 1990s aquatic revolution. Elegant without flourish, constructed rather than discovered.
