Composition
Daniel Maurel's opening chapter of the Library Collection: a lush white-floral chypre of ylang-ylang, tuberose and jasmine with cardamom, bitter orange and plum, grounded in incense, papyrus, tonka and woods. Opulent and timelessly elegant.
To me this is a bouquet pressed between the pages of a love letter — Cardamom, green and camphorous-spicy, bitter orange, zesty and green-edged and plum, dark and velvety tender and timeless. The heart is all Ylang-ylang, creamy tropical floral, tuberose, creamy and narcotic-white, jasmine, heady and white, rose, lush and velvety and lily of the valley, dewy and green-white — and suddenly the perfume feels like it is breathing against your skin. The spicy character never leaves — it is the quiet backbone of the scent. Finally Incense, cold sacred smoke, papyrus, dry papery woods, tonka bean, creamy and sweet, sandalwood, creamy and smooth, guaiac wood, smoky-sweet and balsamic, vetiver, green and earthy and virginia cedar, dry and clean remain, like embers glowing softly under everything. Wear this when you want the room to lean in a little closer. Beginner-friendly — easy to love from the first spray.
