1932 Eau de Parfum for women

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, fizzy and clean, the effervescent quality that makes classic perfumes smell like perfume.

It opens on aldehydes, pear and grapefruit, moves through iris, floral notes and jasmine, and settles on musk, woody notes and vetiver.

• aldehydes: the fizzy, soapy sparkle that makes a classic perfume smell like perfume rather than like any one ingredient
• pear: light watery sweetness with a green crispness

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
