Paillettes

Paillettes opens with a bracing sparkle of bergamot and black currant, sharpened by galbanum's green bite and aldehydes that catch light like sequins. Tarragon and coriander add an almost savory spice before the composition softens into a lush garden—carnation and tuberose lead a chorus of orange blossom, jasmine, and rose, their sweetness tempered by cool iris and the powdery hush of mimosa. As the florals dissolve, amber and benzoin emerge from beneath, grounding everything in warm resin while vetiver and patchouli whisper earthiness against the creamy tonka and sandalwood, finished with animalic depth from civet and ambergris that tethers the glitter to skin.
