In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Bigarade 18 Hong Kong by Le Labo is a clean citrus and white floral fragrance built around the sharp zest of bitter orange and sweet neroli. Daphné Bugey composed it with a bright top of bergamot, neroli, and bigarade, leading into a single floral heart of lily. The base settles on a bed of musk, ambergris, and cedar.…

Reviews →

Giglio di Firenze opens with a distinct burst of calamus and yellow mandarin before settling into a powdery iris-like heart of lily and heliotrope. The base grounds the floral elements with clean virginia cedar and vanilla. It suits those seeking a quiet, dry woody floral for daytime office wear in spring.
