The Ingénue Cousin Flora

A bright, crisp citrus scent with a clean, soapy character that leans toward fresh and innocent. The opening bursts with sparkling lemonade-like acidity, closely resembling Chanel Mademoiselle and Concentre d’Orange Verte, but it quickly recedes into a subtle, muted musk and ambery ambroxan base. The scent is very linear in development, offering no complex evolution, and instead settles into a soft, lingering presence. It feels lightweight and wearable during summer days, with moderate sillage and moderate longevity, but performance is inconsistent across skin types. Some find it refreshing and clean, likening it to a bright linen or a watery herbal soap, while others perceive it as fleeting and underwhelming. Its personality is youthful, playful, and unassuming—ideal for casual daytime wear in warm weather. Despite its elegant bottle and fine sprayer, the price is frequently seen as excessive for its modest performance and lack of depth.
