Classic

Classic, from the German house Marbert, is a feminine floral released in 2010. Sweet and woody sides each make up about half of its character, with a smaller citrus touch.

Hyacinth opens it with a green, slightly earthy spring floral note, joined by pineapple's bright, juicy sweetness and orange's sunny zest. The heart is a traditional bouquet: rose soft and full, carnation spicy and clove-like, and lily creamy and fresh. The base is warm and rounded, with sandalwood giving a smooth, creamy woodiness, vanilla a gentle sweetness and patchouli an earthy depth that keeps it grounded.

It suits spring and autumn, daytime outings and elegant evenings. As its name suggests, it should appeal to someone who likes traditional floral bouquets with a warm, sweet woody base, a well-mannered, recognisably perfume-like scent rather than a fresh or experimental one.
