Fragrance notes
Character
The litchi and cassis arrive first, bright and juicy, with pink pepper adding a gentle snap that keeps the fruit from feeling heavy. It is a crisp opening that feels alive in cool air, like walking past a market stall just as the sun dips and the streetlights flicker on.
Violet and rose soon take the lead, softened by the powdery depth of orris. Cedar gives the flowers a clean backbone, so the blend stays elegant rather than sugary. The transition feels smooth, moving from fresh fruit to a polished bouquet that sits close and refined.
White musk and cashmeran form a gentle, woody base that wraps the florals in a calm haze. The texture is smooth and modern, leaning more toward a soft embrace than a bold statement. It feels at home in a wool coat, surrounded by gray skies and the quiet of a city evening.
Maxime Exler crafted a scent for someone who wants a floral that never shouts. Wear it when the air is crisp enough to see your breath, on a night when a soft, powdery trail is exactly the right companion.
