How it moves

It arrives on lemon, bergamot and sicilian lemon — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. Underneath, hyacinth, honeysuckle, jasmine and ylang-ylang settle in and take over. By evening it is oakmoss, vetiver and musk, and it is better for it.

Who made it

Henri Robert composed it in 1974, for Chanel in France. Henri Robert's crystalline citrus chypre, later reworked as an EDP by Jacques Polge, prized for its bright lemon-hyacinth opening.
