Odette

god this is so perfect! if you like citrus that isnt overshadowed by bergamot or ylang ylang. smells like opening a can of grapefruit san pellegrino, but immediately subdues into a watery rose. tart but not green, and slows down into a fluffy, lovely creamy vanilla meringue. i wish the rose didnt scream as much and the citrus lingered longer though

Uhh, wow. This is the summer rose I didn’t know I wanted. It’s a luminous, wakeful, sharp rose, not at all soapy or heavy, paired with a lovely trace of rhubarb. Fresh rose fragrances are often supported with greenness or fresh spicy topnotes, and thus made peppy and punctuating, but in this case, the rose sits on a delicious tonka-iris base that’s completely edgeless and supple. The effect is an uplifting floral issuing from a shifting portal, striking but ephemeral, like echoing laughter. Reminds me of fine sparkling wine, limerence, the first warm nights towards the end of spring. So perfectly balanced that you don’t smell the architecture at all, you just smell the clear central idea. Achingly beautiful.

She is the perfect counterpart to Odile. Light, tart, and so so innocent. I haven’t smelled anything quite like it before. Just wonderful.
