Ó Féminin
Petitgrain and pink pepper open sharp and slightly bitter, mandarin and lemon brightening things up before neroli and jasmine take over the middle. It has the structure of a classic citrus floral, but the citrus is drier than you'd expect, and the jasmine never gets syrupy.
Orange blossom carries into the base, joined by patchouli and oakmoss for a mossy, slightly bitter finish that keeps the vanilla and musk from turning it into just another soft floral. It wears close and lasts longer than the bright opening suggests it will.
Why We Carry This
Most citrus florals fade into soap-and-powder territory by hour two. This one holds onto its oakmoss and patchouli long enough to still be saying something in the evening, which is why we keep it on the shelf.
