Murasaki (Parfum)

"Murasaki is a classic floral-green chypre with a distinctly bitter, mossy character. Its opening combines galbanum, bergamot, gardenia, hyacinth, and peach for a sharp green-floral impression. The heart develops through lily, lily-of-the-valley, iris, jasmine, and rose, adding a more powdery and traditionally feminine dimension. Oakmoss, vetiver, leather, sandalwood, musk, and ambergris form a deep, earthy, woody base. The overall effect is elegant, herbaceous, subtly floral, and slightly soapy rather than sweet. It represents a more structured and atmospheric style of feminine perfumery than the modern fruity-floral Murasaki releases."
