Aquamarine

Aquamarine, from the Italian brand Byblos, is a fresh feminine floral with flowers clearly in the lead and lighter sweet, woody, musky and amber touches.

Apple gives a crisp, juicy start, and freesia and violet add an airy, peppery and softly powdery floral brightness. The heart is a clean spring bouquet: lily of the valley fresh, green and bell-like, jasmine warm, and peony light and dewy. The base is gentle: cedar gives a dry, clean woodiness, ambergris a warm, salty, mineral glow and musk a smooth, skin-like softness that recalls the sea-blue stone of the name.

It suits spring and summer, daytime outings, the office and relaxed weekends. It should appeal to someone who likes light, transparent florals with a fruity, airy opening and a clean musk base, fresh and pretty rather than rich or sweet, the kind of easy scent that works from morning to evening on a warm day.
