Alba (From Across the Alps) starts with a punchy splash of bitter orange, sharp petitgrain, and tart lemon peel. That initial citrus brightness lasts about twenty minutes before mellowing into an antique floral heart. Creamy orange blossom, powdery heliotrope, and delicate jasmine take the lead. You also notice an oily, natural sheen on your skin right after spraying. As the midday air warms the perfume, golden beeswax and nutty bitter almond step forward to create an unburned candle warmth. It avoids sugary dessert cliches entirely. During the late drydown, earthy orris root and Virginia cedar establish a grounding woody foundation. This makes it an easy, charming daytime scent for mild spring and autumn weather. Show less
