Atypical Woman
Rykiel Woman: 'Not for Men!' it says.
But don't get it wrong, this is no ordinary feminine.
It's a floral, with a sort of pink lychee and silky jasmin, but there's also dry-woody incense and pink pepper which are typically from the other side of the aisle.
Under this strange pair there is sweet leathery cardboard, again giving off mixed messages.
Put it all together and you have something like Lalique pour Homme Equus, but pink - and made for women.
So when Rykiel say 'not for men', I wonder, is this tongue in cheek, or is it a disclaimer to what feels like an act of subversion by Anne Flipo.
If the idea of sweet incense or dry fruity-flora is your kind of thing, forget about labels and try this - if you can find it, whether you happen to be femme or homme.
