La Corte
Two jasmines and white lily, rounded out by almond milk and bourbon vanilla.
Perfumer: Fabrice Pellegrin
In Renaissance Florence, art, ideas and trade flourished around the Medici and their palaces. La Corte, 'the court', takes that setting and pays homage to jasmine, a flower cherished in the city, shaping it into a white bouquet.
Jasmine blossoms open first. Almond milk adds a smooth, nutty creaminess and freesia an airier brightness, giving the flowers more body. In the heart, a second white lead, star jasmine, melts into white lily, the lily's cleaner tone balancing the jasmine's sweetness.
The close brings white amber, cashmere wood and bourbon vanilla. Soft amber and the calm of the wood, touched by a gentle vanilla sweetness, bring the opulent florals down to a quiet landing.
