Angelique

Eau de Parfum

by Papillon Artisan Perfumes

Description

“She smiled, a moving childish smile that was like all the lost youth in the world.”

~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is the Night

Angelique, a pure pastel iris with tenderly moving trails of mimosa, osmanthus, white champac, orris and frankincense that is evocative of a moving childish smile that is like all the lost youth in the world.

Yes, it smells just like that…

A stunningly compelling iris fragrance intricately poised between the cool pale grey poignant reserve of spring mornings and the luminosity of the silvered filaments of starlight. The delicate opening reveals a pervasively ethereal charmer elusive as crystalline snowflakes that fall gently upon one’s eyelashes only to melt just as quickly. Nevertheless, the perfume’s ephemeral texture is purely but insistently perceptible, belying a tenderly evocative and omnipresent sensuality that recalls dry, silken crushed powder seamlessly melded with the spicy warmth of the soft skin upon which it was gently pressed. Angelique’s clarity weaves into your consciousness, caressing with an improbably radiant silver-irised intensity that ubiquitously tingles with a vaguely smoky allusion to the portent of an amorphous darkness and complexity.Virginian cedarwood and subtle notes of frankincense bring an ethereal light and delicate freshness to this tender composition.

An insidiously compelling and beautiful iris scent of unique dimension
