Vol d'Hirondelle

Vol d'Hirondelle by Laurent Mazzone Parfums, released in 2012, is a citrus fragrance with a woody, spicy core. Citrus is the accord everyone names; most also find it woody, about half describe it as spicy, green and floral, and a minority pick up musk. It is brighter and drier than most of the house's output.

The notes are listed together and the citrus section is generous: bergamot, lemon, mandarin orange and orange, with petitgrain from Paraguay adding the bitter, leafy green of the orange tree. Artemisia brings a herbal, slightly bitter sharpness, and spices give the middle warmth. Jasmine and rose soften the heart without turning it floral. The base combines palisander rosewood and orangewood for a smooth, faintly sweet wood, vetiver for a dry, earthy line and musk for a clean finish.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. The profile suits warm weather and daytime, from work to a summer evening, and it will please people who like citrus colognes with more structure and a proper dry-down.
