Series Three 2 Mary Katrantzou: Trompe L'Oleil
Fragrance notes
Character
Morning sun warms a glass conservatory in early spring. A bowl of bitter orange and mandarin sits on a white table beside a halved peach, their bright peels mingling with the fresh scent of neroli that rises from a silk scarf draped nearby. The air feels alive and crisp.
Mimosa and ylang-ylang begin to unfold as the room settles, their golden petals softened by the powdery elegance of orris. A single stem of rose adds a gentle blush, while tuberose lends a creamy weight that keeps the petals from floating away entirely.
Tonka bean and vanilla anchor the scene with a gentle warmth, held close by the dry, polished grain of amyris and the soft whisper of ambrette. The scent remains near, wrapping the wearer like a fine wool wrap rather than a heavy coat, perfect for a stroll through a sunlit garden path.
This fragrance suits someone who enjoys a sweet, yellow floral presence that does not overwhelm a quiet conversation. It feels most at home in a bright space filled with natural light and fresh air. The final impression is a tender, balsamic vanilla.
