Perfumery
OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION
Bright and enchanting, geranium provides a generous floral and fruity top note. Juicy litchis, pears and nectarines intermingle for a “morning dew” effect. Aromatic, moreover, accents of peppermint and nettle underline the whole of a fusing olfactory feature. Then, inviting more and more comparison with the rose, the fruity effect tends towards grapefruit and more exotic fruits, such as papaya or grenadilla. As the maelstrom calms down and stabilizes, it is a tea effect that remains unperturbed, supported by a distant amber call.
