Aliénor Massenet

"The Favourite is a soft, polished floral woody musk fragrance introduced in 2020. Its opening combines violet, freesia, and mandarin orange for a bright yet delicate start. Mimosa, iris, and jasmine sambac form a powdery, elegant floral heart. Musk, ambroxan, and sandalwood create a smooth, clean, lightly woody drydown. The overall character is feminine, graceful, and understated rather than bold or gourmand. It expresses the charming and vivacious personality associated with its Portraits storytelling."

Reviews Summary

“The Favourite is generally experienced as a soft, elegant floral woody musk with a delicate focus on mimosa, iris, violet, and musk. Its impression is polished, powdery, feminine, and refined, with restrained projection rather than a bold or enveloping presence.”
