“Farmers market on a Saturday — unhurried, sunny, completely unbothered.”
Nathalie Lorson's 1997 floral for Burberry: mandarin opens onto a fruity-floral heart of nectarine and hyacinth, settling into a soft, musky drydown. A cool, green-powdery edge runs through the heart and keeps the fruit in check. Floral accords lead, with powdery and fruity facets. Leans spring, with fall close behind, and wears firmly as a daytime scent.
