Quasi una absurdia
Fragrance notes
Character
A late dinner stretches on under dim pendant lights, plates cleared and wine still moving between glasses. The air carries lily, jasmine, ylang-ylang and rose alongside orange blossom, a dense floral mass threaded with bergamot and mint that keeps the bouquet from turning heavy. Cloves add a warm prickliness, while tonka bean, vanilla and benzoin give the sweetness a resinous weight. Civet sits inside the flowers and the sugar, animalic and slightly dirty, turning a pretty arrangement into something that leans closer to skin than to perfume counter. The scent occupies the space around the table without overwhelming the room, and it stays present on the wrist well after the last pour.
The blend feels intimate and a little unruly, green and aromatic one moment, white and yellow the next, always circling that civet edge. It suits someone who enjoys florals that do not behave, who wants vanilla and rose with a faintly lived-in texture. The limitation is the scent itself. The animalic facet is strong and specific, and it will not appeal to anyone who prefers their white florals clean and polished. It is a distinctive choice, not a safe one, and the wearer should be ready for that.
