No. 5

The founding aldehydic floral. Ylang-ylang and neroli in the opening, a heart of iris, jasmine and rose, a base of sandalwood and vanilla. A century on, still the reference.

Superstitious

A classically built aldehydic floral, pushed further: jasmine and rose over an ambery chypre. Conceived as a tribute to the great couture perfumes.
