Delicious tomato leaf, green mandarin, geranium and patchouli - I think I've previously noted how evocative and nostalgic for happy childhood holidays in Cornwall at farm houses, my grandads greenhouse and family desserts of tinned mandarins this is for me, and how it's a bit of a liferaft perfume that I can rely on to rescue me from overwhelm and bring me back to me - but I'm not sure if I've described the actual scent?
This Olivier Cresp composition is a very joyful 'outdoors' scent (as you might imagine!) - the tomato leaf is very photorealistic: the bitter, tannic green stalks mixed in with the ripe juicy fruit of the tomato - that sense of having your hands in the dirt and bees in the air! It combines with a glorious, zesty, juicy green mandarin (another very realistic accord) that gives some sweetness, and a refreshing, mouthwatering tang, whilst the patchouli and geranium adds an earthy texture.
This all combines to give a wonderful, spring/summer day/early evening fragrance that evokes relaxed time with loved ones in sun drenched garden ๐ ๐ ๐ผ ๐
