Amande Persane

Amande Persane, from the French house Roger & Gallet, is a sweet almond gourmand with lighter musky, floral and citrus touches. It is worn by anyone.

Mandarin opens with a soft, juicy citrus brightness that lifts the composition. Almond and bitter almond then take centre stage, nutty, creamy and slightly marzipan-like, with bitter almond adding a sharper, cherry-stone edge. Iris and powdery notes bring a soft, cosmetic, powder-puff elegance, while tonka bean adds a warm, hay-like sweetness that rounds out the drydown.

The result is a comforting, powdery almond scent, gentle rather than sugary. It suits autumn and winter, daytime and quiet evenings, and works well for the office, relaxed weekends or cosy nights in. It should appeal to anyone who loves almond and iris together and wants a soft, nutty, powdery fragrance that feels refined and calm.
