A time-tested combination beloved by perfumers for generations.
Floral
Chinese geranium smells like a honeyed, slightly peppery floral with green undertones—imagine rose petals dusted with black pepper, then softened with a whisper of honey and fresh-cut grass. It's warmer and spicier than typical rose, with a velvety roundness that feels almost creamy on the nose. There's an aldehydic shimmer too, like the scent has been polished to a subtle gleam. It's sophisticated rather than sweet, with a gentle herbaceous bite that prevents it from feeling cloying.
Green
French lavender Orpur® smells like walking through a sun-drenched Provençal field in late summer—herbaceous and green, with a peppery, almost eucalyptus-like sharpness that cuts through the sweetness you might expect. Unlike common lavender's soft florality, this captures the plant's leafy, slightly camphorous green facets: imagine crushing fresh stems between your fingers rather than inhaling dried buds. There's a crisp, almost minty brightness with subtle woody undertones—cleaner and more austere than romantic.
