Perhaps in opposition to the formidable beauty of my previous choices, the singuarly lovely charm of a delicate bouquet of wildflowers, sheer on the skin, will satisfy the craving for something fresh. Others might turn to citrus, but I've never felt comfortable with sharpish scents. There are a handful of contenders for this role. L'Occitane Eau de Miel is a meadow drenched in sunshine, and I even like its ephemerality, as alcohol would ruin its delicacy—it would be nice if they would make this into a perfume oil. But, I am also considering Guerlain Après L'Ondée, as yet unsniffed, more melancholy interpretation (orange blossom, anise, carnation, violet, chypre). Or perhaps even Chanel No. 19 (green aldehydic iris), which is somewhat more artificial, like antique porcelain. Or maybe even Frédéric Malle En Passant, which I would actually be able to get my hands on. Speaking of Olivia Giacobetti, L'Artisan Parfumeur Premier Figuier might also fall under the "pastoral" category. I am not sure, I need decants. I will edit this post when updates follow.
