C&S Neroli. I love this floral orange fragrance, but my only grip is given the niche price, the atomizer and cap are of extremely poor quality.

Guerlain
Après l'Ondée
(1906)
Jacques Guerlain
Floral Oriental
------------------
Top Note: Lemon, Bergamot, Neroli, Blackcurrant
Middle Note: Carnation, Violet, Mimosa, Sandalwood
Base Note: Vanilla, Benzoin, Orris Root, Heliotrope
------------------
A classical ambery floral from the hand of Jacques Guerlain, the master himself! This one is quite a voyage, in a couple of ways. This is an olfactory journey of elegant, gentle turns and subtle surprises. Right at the beginning, the gentle clove-scented hint of carnation begins to appear, even as the top notes are still unfolding. The violet and cassie are subtly piquant, prefiguring and blending with the carnation, a prolepsis of future charm. The white florals, jasmine, ylang, and neroli, form a chord, broken across the top and middle notes. The mimosa in the heart echoes the cassie-acacia in the head. Heliotrope in the base picks up from the headier florals above and anchors them along with it in a sweet bed of amber, vanilla, and musk. The journey is smooth, a stately development and interlacing of themes: hesperides, acacias, white florals, rose, oriental notes, and the gentlest animalic touch of musk. It can be a pleasure to renew acquaintance with the lost art of a true master, as was Jacques Guerlain. This is a perfume for today, but, sadly, I feel it would never have been made today. Yet the secret of a classic is that it, too, lives in the land of no-time, where the passing of hours, days, and years cannot touch it; where it is beyond the reach of decay and loss.
