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.
Nio
A sharp opening of bergamot, pink pepper, cardamom and neroli, a short green-and-jasmine heart, then a dry base of cedar, guaiac wood and vetiver. A spiced fresh woody for warm days.
