Poetic words about the fragrance from the Lancome site: "Alone in her beloved French garden, a woman wanders among roses, lilac, iris and jasmine. She is thinking of him, knowing that he loves her but hoping he will soon show her a sign that will banish all her doubts. A breeze arises and strokes her skin, carrying fragrant petals softly into her hair. She closes her eyes and lets the aura of the garden envelop her senses. She hears footsteps, opens her eyes and looks into his. She sees a new and special intensity in his gaze. And is something hidden in his hand? The moment is electric. Something important is going to happen…peut-être…perhaps". (lancome)The composition opens with fresh seringe flowers, there is a mix of iris and Bulgarian rose essence in the heart, and comforting amber and musk in the base. It comes in 50ml (1.7fl.oz) bottle.
