Astor Place

Bond No. 9 Astor Place begins with violet leaf and mandarin orange, and does not apologise for either.

How it moves

It arrives on violet leaf and mandarin orange — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. Then the heart turns up — freesia, red poppy and orris root — and the whole thing slows down. What is left hours later is musk, teak wood and amber, and that is the part people follow you for.
