Golden Veil

Lilac, gardenia and jasmine over cocoa and vanilla, a powdery floral.

Lilac and gardenia lead a full bouquet with jasmine and peony behind them, and heliotrope adds a sweet powdery haze. Cocoa, tonka bean and orris root turn the heart dusty and slightly gourmand, then vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli settle the base. Dressier occasions and ordinary days both suit it; women can reach for it in autumn and winter, and it wears long. Every order of Golden Veil is weighed: pure oil, no alcohol.
