Chic et Bohème Chabaud

Sweet oranges and neroli blossoms open, but give way to a rapidly unfurling ylang ylang flower. The almost narcotic floral centre never giving up the innocence of the blossoms over to its more indolic aspects. Sweet fruity nuances reminiscent of honeysuckle, give this a safe and comforting feeling. Like the hug of a grandmother wearing a strong jasmine perfume. A hug that envelops and secures the centre. The reinforcing arms that have been working in the garden still retain the earthy soil. This earthy leafy edge being the patchouli, but its harsher aspects softened by the amber and vanilla. Never sweet but supportive.

This could run the risk of being a heavy jasmine, fruity, patchouli but it always manages to stay on a lighter plane above. As if it hovers above the ground a little like a honeysuckle laden breeze. Like a grandmother, this is strict but sweet and kind too. Joy lovers will like this one.
