Fleur de Peau

Fleur de Peau is a bright white floral from the French house Detaille, released in 2014. Floral is the word everyone uses for it; about two thirds also find it citrusy, and a third woody or musky.

Bergamot and tangerine open it with a juicy, slightly sweet citrus brightness that sets a sunny tone. The heart is orange blossom, jasmine and tuberose together: the orange blossom honeyed and slightly green, the jasmine warm and rich, the tuberose creamy and a little heady. The three are kept light rather than dense, so the effect is fresh and radiant. Cedar gives the base a dry, clean woodiness, and musk a soft, skin-like warmth that keeps the flowers close and comfortable.

Fleur de Peau is worn by anyone. Its bright, clean floral character suits spring and summer and daytime wear, and it should appeal to someone who loves orange blossom and jasmine and wants them in a fresh, uncomplicated form.
