Description

Is this a fresh Oriental or a fruity chypre? The sparkling, bright “Antigua” is hard to classify. It opens with a fresh, quirky burst of bergamot, grapefruit, lime and guava. Rose oil, fig leaf and white peaches underline the extreme femininity of the fragrance in the heart notes. A warm and sensuous drydown of musk and vanilla slowly unveils patchouli, cedar wood, vetiver and oak moss.

Note de voyage : The perfume necklace

Wherever you are, the warm welcome in the Islands will always be accompanied by a huge necklace of local flowers. Their origins remain unclear, but locals have offered these delicately scented gifts to their hosts for centuries. It is also said that, not mastering the techniques of extraction and distillation the inhabitants used to “scent” with these necklaces throughout the day.
