French Bouquet

Aldehydes and bergamot give the opening its crisp snap, then rose, jasmine and orange Blossom spread the bouquet wide. Labdanum, tobacco and patchouli pull it into a dark, powdery chypre.

Rive Gauche

Aldehydes and rose over a powdery base of wood and moss. The ready-to-wear perfume, made to be worn daily rather than saved for big evenings.
