Ma Griffe

Ma Griffe by Carven, in this 2013 version, is a classic green floral chypre. Flowers lead, with woody and citrus facets in support and lighter gourmand, musky and amber touches.

It opens with bergamot, lemon and gardenia, a bright, zesty citrus set against a creamy white floral. The heart is a classic bouquet of rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang, velvety, radiant and sunny, with sandalwood adding a creamy wood note. In the base, styrax brings a resinous, leathery warmth, vetiver a dry, earthy depth, tonka bean a soft sweetness and musk a clean finish.

The profile suggests an elegant scent for spring and autumn, daytime events, the office and lunches. It suits someone who appreciates classic French florals with a citrus sparkle and a resinous, woody base, a refined and timeless signature that feels polished, ladylike and quietly confident.
