Marfa
Tuberose handled as cream rather than heady flower: orange blossom takes the fleshiness out, vanilla rounds it onto a pale musky wood. Milky and luminous rather than opulent.
Libre
French lavender over orange blossom and vanilla: a fougère worn feminine. One of the biggest launches of its decade.
