Gabrielle Chanel

Blackcurrant and citrus open onto a heart of four white flowers — jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, tuberose — over sandalwood and musk. The bouquet is built without a single rose.

Solaris

Ylang-ylang gives full sunlight, fleshy and a little creamy, while black currant throws in a green tartness. Cedar holds the whole thing upright and keeps it from turning syrupy.
