Timeless
The perfume Racquets evokes a sense of tranquility.

It reminds me of something from the past, although I'm not sure exactly what.

Early days of spring, towards evening, with the warm air.

At times, there's also a scent of cleanliness, as if there's a carpet covering an old parquet floor.

This is a beautiful composition from the well-known English brand.

A fragrance that leans towards the chypre genre, green, citrusy, and powdery, while still maintaining a certain softness and creaminess.

It opens with citrus and green notes, immediately giving an idea of where it's heading.

Lavender, ylang ylang, and some spices smooth it out, making it fresh but at the same time floral.

After a few hours, the fragrance still maintains this green and fresh impression but with a powdery undertone.

Very elegant and in my opinion, perfect for a spring day.
