A powdery white floral fragrance with lilac taking a strong note together with soft citrus and musk notes. Another very appealing feminine fragrance with vintage undertones.

Caron - Aimez-Moi
"This fragrance of the greatest emotions is truly unique, just like Caron Aimez Moi. Confusing like the intoxication of flowers, daring yet mysterious. Inspired by life's happiness, the woman wearing this perfume is dynamic and gentle, content and beaming, simply unique."
"Bergamot and aniseed combine with violet, queen of this highly addictive floral accord.
Vanilla and magnolia define a joyful, feminine composition."
Nose: Dominique Ropion.
Being a huge fan of Caron, this is a delight. Floral notes - violets, anise and cardamom hit you first then soft creamy notes of amber, vanilla and sandalwood with a slight rose undertone.

Grossnith - Floral Veil
"An enchanting white floral with an underlying cool aspect Vibrant citrus notes and green accords provide an attractive contrast to the rich floral heart of geranium, rose, ylang, tuberose and vanilla orchid.
The composition rests on a warm smooth base of cashmeran, amber and musk. The contrast between the cool top notes and warm, opulent floral heart make for an intriguing composition."
"A veil may be light and transparent and create an air of sophistication and mystery for the wearer. The beauty and subtlety of Floral Veil's white floral notes will have wide appeal."
Nose: Jean-Marie Santantoni.
There is a strong musky tuberose start to this which is highlighted by citrus and green notes. Mid notes are a bouquet of florals with Ylang Ylang and amber which is very pleasant and a slight animalic musky finish. Soft with ardent rose as the star.

Kilian - Love, Don't be shy
"A seduction in scent: from shy to erotic and passionate. A soft sweet accord of marshmallow and Moroccan orange flower is succeeded by the embrace of Turkish rose, sambac jasmine and Florentine iris, enriched with vanilla and musk"
Nose, Calice Backer.
A very gentle and feminine oriental fragrance. You start with the warm surgery notes of vanilla, sugar and caramel. The soft surgery white floral sweetness continues with the Turkish rose and then piquant highlights of citrus and pepper. Almost like a bag of retro confectionery.

Nejma - Daughters Of Nejima, daughter No. 4
"The Fourth daughter. Nejma 4 offers all the freshness of floral notes, thanks to essences of Ylang Ylang and Bourbon Geranium. Fruity flavour caused by the addition of Italian Bergamot orange and vineyard peaches. Its heart is a smooth symphony of Egyptian jasmine, wild Narcissus and Ottoman roses that stretch gracefully to a woodier touch, where the oak moss and the Resin of Citrus revolve majestically around the Aoud wood."
Top notes: Ylang Ylang, Bourbon, Geranium, Italian Bergamot, Orange, Vineyard Peaches. Heart notes: Egyptian Jasmine, Wild Narcissus, Roses of Ottomane. Base notes: Wood of Aoud, Oakmoss, Resin of Cistus.
Creator: Marie Lise Bischoff
Heady but surprisingly fresh. Enriched creamy floral notes of jasmine and rose highlighted by fruity tones especially sweet orange. The chypre finish of Aoud, Oakmoss and labdanum makes it aromatic and exotic.
