Delicate but not fragile, romantic but never saccharine - a fragrance for people who understand that the most devastating thing you can send someone is restraint.

Fragrance Notes: Lily of the Valley, mandarin, peony, jasmine, cyclamen, ivy, white musk, cedarwood, cashmeran, sandalwood and driftwood. 

Fragrance Match: Annicke 1, Eight & Bob. 

Mood: bright, romantic. 

One winter night in Megève, 1936, Albert Fouquet met Annicke -  Austrian, luminous, the kind of encounter that rearranges a life in a single evening of conversation and firelight. He left for Paris at dawn; the letters began at once. Months of them, crossing borders, full of longing. And when they finally reunited in Vienna, he brought her this: a perfume in place of everything the letters couldn't say.

Pure Vienne is lily of the valley as a declaration: dewy, springlike, immaculate, lifted by mandarin and peony, deepened with jasmine and cyclamen, a trace of green ivy threading through. The dry down settles into driftwood and white musk: soft, clean, quietly persistent, the way certain memories are.
