The Scent of Peace

Two sharp materials open the composition, grapefruit and blackcurrant, ahead of a heart where lily of the valley is carried by hedione. The base holds two materials only, cedarwood and musk, closing the bouquet without weight.

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.
