“Turkish rose and lychee — the compliment magnet with a French accent.”
PDM's defining modern-rose feminine, which later spawned the Exclusif and La Rosée flankers — Quentin Bisch's 2017 launch for Parfums de Marly. A fruity-rose-musk feminine with lychee, rhubarb, and bergamot at the top, a Damascena rose-nutmeg heart, and a cashmeran-musk-vetiver base. Performs strongest in spring, leans daytime, with moderate projection.
