X For Women

X For Women opens on rhubarb and peach cut with mandarin and bergamot, tart before it turns sweet. Egyptian jasmine leads the heart alongside rose, orris, narcissus, lily of the valley and tuberose, dense and properly old-school floral. Vanilla, cashmeran, patchouli, rum and sandalwood close it out, grounding all that flower in something warm and faintly earthy.

Why We Carry This
A floral chypre built at 20% extrait concentration, which almost nobody bothers with anymore. The patchouli and rum in the base are what separate it from the fruity florals it might otherwise resemble.
