Colonia Pura
A citrus and petitgrain opening that slides toward an unexpected floral heart, jasmine sambac and narcissus held in check by coriander. Cedar and musk close it without weight, easy at a desk or midweek.
Bal d'Afrique
Neroli and African marigold over a base of vetiver and musk. Luminous and airy — an evocation of 1920s Paris looking towards Africa.
