L’Heure
Vertueuse is a vivid evocation of Mediterranean verdure. The pungent greenery
of cis-3-hexenol recalls freshly cut fields of grass and is here paired with rustic lavender and an impression of wild mint which plays cache-cache
with my nose. There's possibly a touch of Floralozone too, adding a fresh breeziness to the composition.
Linear and relatively short lasting, the fragrance makes few
concessions. Those feeling ungenerous may call it a one-trick-pony, but
given the trajectory of mainstream perfumery, this kind of audacious release is
to be encouraged.
