A story of contrasts finding its inspiration in Carine’s Slavic roots. The story of a family, of love and transmission. Vladimir is the name of Carine’s son. The contrasting ingredients of iris, incense and amber blow hot and cold, express rigor and fluidity. The fragrance opens with the icy effect of grapefruit and natural bergamot enveloped in the aromatic notes of French sage. The heart reveals the spicy notes of natural cedar and Egyptian geranium. Then arrives the warmth of Moroccan iris, a modern leathery note and a complex ambery accord composed of sensual, woody, vanilla notes.
What We Think
A sophisticated and exceptionally well-blended iris fragrance that takes a classic masculine structure- citrus, herbs/aromatics, iris, and ambery woods- and pushes it more into unisex territory due to the earthy, powdery, gently sweet complexity of the iris heart. Lovers of old school gentlemen's iris or barbershop scents looking for something a bit less gendered and more versatile should not miss this one!
