Carven Le Parfum

Apricot and mandarin blossom burst open with the green-edged brightness of white hyacinth, crisp and almost peppery at first. The heart softens into creamy sweet pea and ylang-ylang, layered with jasmine that arrives powdery and intimate rather than heady. Sandalwood and Indonesian patchouli leaf emerge underneath, earthy and slightly smoky, while osmanthus adds a subtle stone-fruit warmth that echoes the opening's stone fruits without repeating them. The drydown settles into velvety patchouli and sandalwood, skin-warm and quietly spiced.
