An Ode To Caron
Grace d'Orient is a densely spicy concoction focused around cloves, a wreath of florals (rose, jasmine, and violet are especially prominent), and warm, rounded resins (benzoin to the fore). It's powdery, retro, and base-heavy, and needs time on skin to reveal it's true complexity.
Anyone familiar with classic Caron Daltroff-Morsetti style will be on familiar territory here: the spicy clove of Poivre, the rose potpourri of Or Et Noir, maybe even a little bit of the leathery amber of Tabac Blond. Still, with this style essentially extinct in the modern day, even the most faithful homage feels interesting and exotic in the current perfume landscape.
