L'Heure Bleue

Notes

Top notes

• Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
• Star Anise Sweet, licorice-like spice with a cool, aromatic edge.

Heart notes

• Carnation Spicy, clove-tinged flower with a peppery-sweet warmth.
• Neroli Honeyed, fresh and a little bitter: orange blossom with a clean, citrus-edged sparkle.

Base notes

• Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
• Violet Sweet, powdery and faintly green, like candied petals.
• Vanilla Warm, creamy, sweet and slightly smoky, like a custard-soft cloud.
• Benzoin Warm, sweet, vanilla-like resin with a soft balsamic glow.
• Tonka Bean Warm, sweet, hay-like and almondy, with a vanilla-tobacco softness.
