Low key magic
Lavender is to Provence what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, The iconic image.
But here the lead is iris, which, along with the supporting lavender has a dark, warm and spicy undercurrent.
It opens quite sweet and transparent, and with everything on show it’s a fine piece of clarity. But with everything laid out you wouldn’t think there’s much to look forward to; iris and lavender wouldn’t suggest the most complex profile, and indeed there’s not much development. And, being an iris profile, it’s in danger of falling into the lipstick cliché.
But instead, the perfume conjours some hidden magic. It looks like it will be an
ordinary affair but a gentle nostalgia pervades. Floral print dresses, summer hats,
matrons peck at lavender cookies in the shade of a summer’s heat; the somnolent drone of crickets as sunlight plays on a languid stream.
Whimsical and rather lovely.
