Inspiration from the French house Charles Jourdan, composed by Jean-Marie Santantoni and released in 1998, is a straightforward floral. Everyone who describes it calls it floral, and a third add citrus.
Only four notes are given, so the scent is simple and legible. Mandarin orange opens with a soft, sweet citrus brightness, gentler than lemon or bergamot. The heart is a classic trio: rose for a fresh, slightly honeyed petal note, jasmine for warmth and fullness, and violet for a powdery, faintly sweet, cosmetic softness that gives the blend a vintage polish. There is no named base, so the flowers themselves carry the drydown.
It is listed for women. Community data on longevity and sillage has not been collected yet, so it is best judged on skin. The light, powdery-floral character suits daytime and spring, and someone who wants a pretty, uncomplicated floral in an older style, without fruit, gourmand sweetness or heavy wood.
