Eau de Noblesse Rancé 1795 1822

Here we have a beautiful, subtly powdery and delicately floral-fruity scent that sweetens the first warm days for me, while still hinting at the cool days to come.
The beginning is fresh, featuring a delicate rose freshness, underpinned by a fine citrus note that does not overwhelm. Very soon, a truly fresh powderiness joins in (if that even exists, as powderiness is usually associated with a certain dusty sweetness, which is not the case here). I almost think I can smell delicate violets, but it must actually be the iris. Thus, the scent remains with me: powdery with a bit of floral freshness and subtly tart fruitiness. No woods, no spices reveal themselves; everything stays quite linear and is also very long-lasting with a fine and subtle sillage.

A beautiful spring companion that has a recognizable quality for me. It has a small, very small resemblance to "La Violette" by Annick Goutal.
