Classic clean skin scent
When I think of feminine “clean skin” scents in the sea of Clean Reserve fragrances, Glossier, Blanche, JHAG etc, Fleur de Peau is one of the best in the category.
The interplay of iris, carrot and angelica is what makes this one just a little more interesting and takes it beyond a simple ambroxan + pepper + florals scent. It must be sampled on skin where the musk can bloom. On paper, this is too powdery and flat.
When worn, this is as comforting and soft as a gauzy muslin blanket and suitable for wearing year round in quiet environments.
The one caveat is that the blend of aldehydes and ambrette has since become ubiquitous in laundry products so newer visitors to this scent will likely associate it with soaps and detergents, for better or worse.
