Maxim's de Paris

Composed by Dominique Ropion in 1984, it opens on the tart juice of cassis and the watery flesh of melon, cooled by mint and hyacinth. Carnation, a note usually rebuilt from eugenol, and narcissus, far darker than its spring flower, join rose, jasmine and tuberose in the heart, and oak moss and labdanum give the chypre its base, softened by heliotrope and vanilla.
