Wild Bluebell
The fleeting bluebell woods, drawn with dewy petals, green leaves, persimmon and powdery musk.
Perfumer: Christine Nagel
This cologne begins with an image of sapphire-blue flowers in a shaded wood. The brand speaks of bluebells carpeting the woodland floor for only a short time in spring, gone almost as soon as they appear, and says the scent sets out to hold that fleeting quality. The result is meant to feel dewy, fragile and full of light.
The bluebell at the top is a wild-flower accord layered with crisp green leaves and the balsamic sweetness of clove buds. A faint dewy accent sits over it. In the brand's description, lily of the valley and eglantine, a type of rose, are woven into that floral sweetness.
At the heart, the persimmon note has the mellow, creamy quality of peach with a little milk. White musk at the base is powdery and clean, softly carrying the trail of the scent. What sets it apart is the way the cool, dewy opening gives way to mellow fruit and soft musk.
