anthology
A floral portrait of morning jasmine picking, with cardamom and herbs around white flowers and soft woods.
Perfumer: Hidenori Matsuno
Anthology portrays jasmine picking just before the buds open in the morning sun. Kilesa imagines a pleasant breeze crossing a flower field while warmth rises from the blossoms. White flowers provide the centre, with herbs and spice bringing movement to the morning scene.
Bergamot, cardamom and clary sage form the opening, combining citrus brightness with aromatic greenery. Jasmine sambac, lily-of-the-valley, white pepper and gardenia create the heart. Full white flowers are given a cleaner floral detail and a lightly spicy edge. Musk, sandalwood and styrax continue into the base, surrounding the flowers with softer wood and resinous warmth.
It fits a daytime setting when a white-floral perfume with fresh herbal detail feels appealing. The contrast between floral fullness and a breezy outline gives it interest. The rounded 50 mL clear-glass bottle has a black cap and its name printed directly on the front.
