by Aerin Lauder
Wild Geranium by Aerin Lauder is a bright, airy floral with a clean, fresh character that leans toward peony and rose. The opening features a crisp, zesty blend of geranium, lemon, and pink pepper, offering a slight herbal green note that softens quickly into a softly radiant core of peony, orange blossom, and rose. A subtle, warm muskiness emerges in the dry down, enhanced by ambroxan and benzoin, creating a softly glowing, skin-scented finish. The fragrance feels delicate and refined, like sunlight on a meadow of white flowers. It's most enjoyed in spring and summer, with moderate projection and moderate longevity. Many find it to be charming, uplifting, and wearably feminine, evoking imagery of elegant women in white linen, sun-drenched gardens, and gentle, unhurried moments. Some note it as being light and more sweet than green, while others appreciate its simplicity and clarity over more complex compositions. It's not a bold or intense scent, but one that feels quietly confident, even elegant, though not powerful or long-lasting.
