Eau du Soir 2010
Grapefruit opens with a bitter-citrus flash that quickly folds into a thick white-floral heart where jasmine dominates, supported by ylang-ylang’s banana creaminess and lily-of-the-valley’s watery green lift.

By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens with a bitter-citrus flash that quickly folds into a thick white-floral heart where jasmine dominates, supported by ylang-ylang’s banana creaminess and lily-of-the-valley’s watery green lift. Patchouli supplies an earthy backbone, preventing the bouquet from turning syrupy, while iris scatters cool, carrot-seed powder and rose adds a faintly sweet, tea-like edge. Over the first hour the florals meld into a single, waxen white-petal accord that hovers just above skin, amber slowly warming the base with a translucent, resinous glow and clean musk sheening the skin like warm silk. Projection stays polite—arm’s-length sillage for the opening, then intimate after three hours—making it office-safe yet present enough for evening dinners. Cool fall through early spring days show it best, when low humidity lets the grapefruit sparkle and the mossy-iris trail linger without overheating.
