Une Amourette wears like a work of high fashion, it is avant-garde and cut precisely, its analogue is architectural as much as it is textural. It is an olfactory garment, as neroli (orange blossom) drapes across the wearer, touched by the heat of skin. The often delicate note, as soft as silky lace, it cut with an unprecedented aggression; a little tear is not unwelcomed. Its brightness is punctuated with powerful animalic indoles - lending ripeness and warmth to the blossom note, it makes it smell like a more intense version of itself. This is echoed with a white pepper note, adding aromatic interest and intensifying the animalic edge of this fragrance. Moreover, a touch of peach - adds sharpness, refinement, and a woody-milky undertone that leads into the heart and base of the composition.

Indeed, this display of creamy and potent florals are rapidly joined with Akigalawood, a modern-smelling patchouli note with pronounced wood and spice facets. Natural patchouli oil reinforces and adds depth to this exchange of woody, camphor-like, and earthy intensities, retaining at all times its markedly powerful and confident structure.

Overall, Une Amourette surprises - it repeats the modern impulse of perfumery to blur natural reference points, by making huge and unfamiliar of the central neroli note. It is a solid yet elegant fragrance, and greatly alluring.
