By the editors · 2 min readPlum and peach open with ripe, almost jammy fruitiness — the cardamom adding warm spice that elevates the fruit above simple sweetness. It's a rich, confident opening that announces a classical French floral of considerable ambition.
A dense white floral heart follows: tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, iris, and rose assembled in the grand tradition. Tuberose and ylang-ylang provide buttery, heady richness; jasmine adds indolic depth; rose and iris provide structure and powdery nuance. The heart is unashamedly opulent, dense without being airless.
Oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli form a classic chypre base — earthy, animalic via the civet note threading through, warm with amber and vanilla. A 1987 classic: plush, grown-up, and characteristic of the era when fragrance wore its intentions on its sleeve.
