Carnet de Bal by Révillon
I'd like to call Carnet de Bal the wildflower chypre, It feels crepuscular, not quite nightfall, with a spice patina—cloves, nutmeg. Before I obtained it, I saw the note of chamomile listed, and concerned myself with the power of suggestion, but I swear, there is a dusty apple-pear digestif glow of roman chamomile overshadowing the florals, and I love it for that. It's similar to the texture that is felt in Aromatics Elixir.
Sweet animal musk advances, tangled in a brocade of oakmoss, underpinned with warm amber. It is a glow in dim light, without the plangent qualities of the typical chypre, and this nuance is its standout feature. It's a mezzo piano, gentle yet not reedy. One who demands "showy" in perfume may accuse it of being obtuse, and that would be a shame, because they may miss out on its covert wisdom.
