Place Vendôme

Place Vendôme opens with a bright thrust of pink pepper and tangerine that catches the breath, softened almost at once by the creamy white dust of orange blossom and rose. The heart unfolds into honeyed warmth—jasmine curves around a whisper of praline and peony's powdered bloom—before cedar and benzoin settle into the base, their woody resin wrapping the sweetness in an amber-tinged cocoon that deepens as it cools against skin.
