Pure Poison

Sweet orange opens onto a heart of gardenia and jasmine, held by sandalwood, white amber and musk. The gardenia carries far, making this an emphatic white floral rather than a discreet one.

Paradoxe

Bright orange blossom held up by ambrette, whose vegetal musk gives it a skin-like warmth, closing on a quiet amber. Three materials and very little ornament: luminous rather than gourmand. Built for everyday wear.
