Rencontre

Rencontre opens with a bright, almost fizzy burst—sharp citrus and aldehydes that crackle across the skin like static electricity. The heart unfolds into a lush, powdery bloom: cyclamen's peppery sweetness winds through velvety ylang-ylang, while hyacinth and peony layer in a green, almost dusty femininity. As the florals soften, oakmoss emerges earthy and slightly mossy, grounding the composition as tonka's warmth and creamy musk settle beneath. Cedar dries everything down into a softly woody base, the aldehydes' brightness now a distant memory.
