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.
Saharienne
Orange blossom and neroli hold the front, drawn taut by rosemary and thyme that keep them from turning sweet. Musk closes it clean and short, with nothing cloying.
