Notes: galbanum, Egyptian cotton, cedar, musk
Whilst reminiscent of bed linen drying on a garden clothes line, against a cool summer breeze, Coton Egyptien is a clean and fresh offering that, thankfully, doesn't venture down the dreaded aquatic route.
Commencing with a resinous (but not too overbearing) galbanum opening, the Egyptian cotton accord (which is essentially a floral blend of orange blossom, lily, lily of the valley, jasmine and iris) gently emerges and provides a metallic sweetness to the dry and verdant top note. With a beautifully clean demeanour running throughout, it gently veers towards a clean woody-musk finale.
Offering reasonable longevity and below average projection, it's still both a refreshing and delightful creation that would be rather satisfying to wear on warmer days.
