Rue du Cirque

The top pairs nutmeg with bergamot, so citrus brightness comes with a spicy warmth. In the heart, lily of the valley, jasmine and geranium add a soft floral note while the green accord comes through. The base of white amber, Haitian vetiver, musk, praliné and patchouli pulls the scent toward earthy and sweet, with the praliné rounding things off without turning heavy.

Overall it moves from floral freshness to an earthy warmth. Acqua di Parma Chinotto di Liguria and Sisley Eau de Campagne have a close profile.
