24K for Women

24K for Women, from Jivago, is a feminine floral fragrance built as a clear progression from fresh flowers to a warm, powdery base.

Lily of the valley and Bulgarian rose open it: the lily fresh, green and bell-like, the rose soft, velvety and full. The heart turns richer and more heady, with jasmine sambac bringing a warm, fruity, slightly honeyed white-floral note and tuberose a creamy, opulent, almost buttery bloom. The base is warm and elegant: amber gives a golden, slightly resinous glow, and orris a cool, powdery, suede-like softness that recalls fine cosmetics.

It suits autumn and spring, evenings, special occasions and dressed-up events, in keeping with the gold of its name. It should appeal to someone who likes rich, classic white-floral bouquets with a powdery, ambery finish, glamorous and feminine rather than fresh or sporty, a fragrance for occasions when a polished, traditional floral feels right.
