“Trench coat and garden roses — effortlessly put-together, as if she wasn't even trying.”
Francis Kurkdjian's 2014 floral for Burberry: sweet pea opens onto a quince and geranium heart, settling on damask rose. Floral accords lead, with sweet, citrus and fruity facets and a light earthy-musky underpinning. The heart reads fruity-green rather than purely rosy, with the rose emerging in the drydown. Wears strongest in fall and spring, firmly daytime.
The take
What works

- ●Patchouli base provides earthy depth without muddying the floral brightness
- ●Kurkdjian's craftsmanship shows in every transition
Trade-offs
