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.
Tempest
Eighteen materials, and yet nothing jostles: rose and jasmine at the centre, a citrus border, and a base of cedar, vetiver and sandalwood that keeps the bouquet from floating.
