By the editors · 2 min readCreated by Olivier Cresp as a 2009 limited-edition flanker of Elle. Raspberry and ginger launch it with a tart, lightly spiced energy; the floral heart of jasmine, peony, and freesia is clean and mainstream in character — each note identifiable, none dominant, the arrangement designed for broad accessibility.
Cedar and patchouli provide a dry, slightly earthy base that keeps the sweetness in check, with musk softening the close. A fruity floral product of its moment — competent, uncomplicated, wears well in spring and summer on warm skin.
