Grand Bal

FeminineBy François DemachyRated 4.3/5 · 464 reviews

jasmine · ylang-ylang · orange blossom

Grand Bal opens on a lift of bergamot and citrus, then jasmine and ylang-ylang unfold a white and yellow floral heart, almost sweet. The base of sandalwood and musk stays soft and enveloping. Wear it in spring or summer, when evenings stretch and the skin still holds the warmth of the day.
