Corsica

Corsica – A natural perfume portrait of the island’s wild heart.  Reminds of "Joy" (by Henri Almeras for Jean Patou, known as the most expensive perfume in the world containing 10 000 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen roses)

"Imagine standing on a Corsican hillside at dawn: the air is still cool from the night, yet already heavy with the promise of sun. That is the opening of Corsica.

It begins with a bright, sparkling burst of Yellow Mandarin, Bergamot and Lemon, lifted by the crisp, camphorous-green breath of Blue Rosemary and Lavender absolute. These are the scents that greet you the moment you step off the ferry — citrus groves shimmering against the sea, wild herbs crushed underfoot.

Then the island opens its arms. The heart is a lavish, sun-warmed floral meadow: Jasmine absolute and Fleur d’ Orange absolute pour their narcotic sweetness over two exquisite roses — the honeyed, spicy Rose Damascena and the delicate, leafy Rose de Mai. Carnation absolute adds a clove-tinged warmth 

As the day deepens, the perfume settles into the earth itself. Patchouli and Bourbon Vetiver anchor the scent in dark, loamy richness. Sandalwood absolute and Tonka bean give a soft, almond-milk creaminess. 

Corsica is not a quiet fragrance. It is generous, romantic, and deeply alive — a perfume that carries the sun, the salt air, the wildflowers, and the ancient woods of the island in every breath. Wear it and you are no longer in a room. You are on that hillside, barefoot, with the whole Mediterranean stretched out before you."  Deonette
