I was playing around with chypre again and thought that a delightful variation on it would be a winter blend with a light call to the spring which will reward us in March. Just as the world is heading into the cold times, ice, and storms it's nice to know that there is another spring waiting for us at the end of the season. Oakmoss from France, and French lavender, a very smooth amber which is thick and very golden lays the bed for a brilliant and true violet to float on top. This is far more than the sum of its parts, and I knew it was a real winner when I first smelled it in the mixing room. This is going to be a season's staple for me, and I hope that you try it as well.
