Diagonal Parfum (1968)

Diagonal Parfum opens with a sharp green snap and aldehydic brightness, citrus cutting through like morning light on wet leaves. Jasmine and rose bloom softly in the heart, their floral warmth steadying the top's crispness into something more intimate. As it settles, vetiver brings an earthy, almost grassy anchor while labdanum and moss layer in a subtle sweetness—musk and sandalwood emerging underneath to ground the composition in skin warmth. The dry, mineral edge of vetiver holds through, sandalwood lingering at the base with a whisper of moss.
