Murasaki

Murasaki opens on a sharply green, resinous galbanum that cuts through hyacinth and gardenia, with bergamot lending a brief citrus lift before the florals settle. Collectors of vintage green florals will recognise the tension immediately: crisp, almost bitter greenness held against creamy white petals, never tipping into sweetness too early.

The heart keeps that structure, layering lily-of-the-valley and more hyacinth and gardenia over a measured peach note that softens the edge without turning fruity. The base is where Murasaki shows its age and character — oakmoss and vetiver give an earthy, mossy floor, leather and sandalwood add dryness, and musk and amber round it out with warmth. It suits collectors who appreciate classic chypre-adjacent green florals from the late 1970s and early 1980s, and anyone who wants a white floral with bite rather than sweetness. Best worn in spring and autumn daytime, or as an evening scent for those who like their florals austere and mossy.

Murasaki 以白松香同風信子、梔子花開場，帶住尖銳而樹脂感嘅綠意，佛手柑只係輕輕提亮。中調延續呢份結構，鈴蘭、風信子同梔子花層層疊上，桃子略略柔化邊緣但唔會變甜。基調係佢最見性格嘅地方：橡苔同岩蘭草鋪出泥土苔蘚底，皮革同檀香帶乾爽，麝香同琥珀收尾添暖。整體係典型七十年代末至八十年代初嘅綠調白花，適合鍾意古典苔蘚花香、想要白花有棱角而唔係甜膩嘅收藏者。春天、秋天日間最啱，夜晚想低調而清冷亦可以。
