A bottle is worth seeking out if you miss the bitter, resinous bite of classic green florals, though a sample is wise due to its sharp herbal edge.

The opening bursts with crisp bergamot and bitter crushed stems before expanding into a sprawling floral heart of gardenia, ylang-ylang, mimosa, and orange flower.

It wears with the bold weight characteristic of early nineties British perfumery, making it well suited for cool autumn mornings, crisp spring afternoons, and formal indoor settings.
