Millésime Impérial* Type Formula StudyMillésel 95 · GA-020116
The sparkle of freshly squeezed lemon and bergamot, the salt carried on a sea breeze and the cool green of blackcurrant leaf, an iris glimpsed clearly between them, and a golden wood and clean musk that last. A salty citrus woody, like an afternoon by the sea as the sun begins to sink.

What you’ll learn from this formula
How a small block can name a scent
a salty sea air laid over a broad golden wood
Main skill
The power of traces
People remember this kind of scent as a salty sea, yet in this formula the sea and green fruit block is only about a sixtieth. The body of the scent is built by a broad golden wood of about a third, and a single transparent woody material alone carries about a seventh of the formula. That is the lesson: the sea reads most clearly when a very small amount is scattered like air, and a small texture laid over a large base becomes the name of the scent.
Supporting skill
Powdery softness
How to draw the powdery light of iris: most of the iris impression is drawn by three violet- and iris-like materials making up about a twenty-third of the formula, while the perfumer’s secret, real iris root, is only about a thousandth. That single drop lays the depth of earth and root over the powdery light, turning a painted iris into the memory of a living flower.
Supporting skill
Tying off the trail
How to keep the sunlight for a long time: the bright citrus, about a fifth of the formula, fades quickly, but beneath it a wood of about a third and a clean musk and amber of about a quarter lay down a golden base, so the brightness carries into the drydown. The largest share of the musks, about a seventeenth of the formula, is one clean musk with a floral glow, and a salt-touched amber material leaves a warmth like seaside rocks at the end.
