Bucoliques de Provence is a serene, minimalist fragrance centered on lavender, iris, and soft leather, evoking the quiet elegance of a Provencal field. It opens with a translucent, aromatic lavender—a clean, slightly sweet burst—woven with the velvety depth of iris and the faint warmth of suede-like leather. Over time, the scent settles into a soft, powdery musk with subtle herbal and spicy undertones, resembling a delicate, skin-close moment after a warm shower. The entire composition is linear and delicate, with a quiet, poetic integrity. Performance is restrained: projection is intimate to moderate, longevity is moderate at best, and the fragrance subsides close to the skin. It is ideal for spring and summer, especially for relaxed, casual wear or nighttime use. While it lacks bold projection or dramatized sillage, its strength lies in its understated naturalism and elegance. Highly appreciated by lavender enthusiasts and lovers of unisex, skin-like scents, it feels more like a wearable whisper than a statement.
