Grossmith FLORAL VEIL eau de parfum

Floral Veil is a 2012 release from London perfume house Grossmith - a house originally founded in the 19th century by John Grossmith before being resurrected. Years of research led to finding the original formula books, from which Grossmith's original 19th century fragrances were brought back. Today, Grossmith is run by Simon, Amanda, Eleanor, and Kate Brooke - 5th and 6th generation descendants of John Grossmith - that have " restored Grossmith to its rightful place as a prominent classic English perfume house that once again is producing the finest perfume in the world."

Amelia, a modern Floral, is one of the Black Label fragrances, which, as "completely modern fragrances share the complexity, quality and understatement of the Classic and Royal Collections and enrich the contemporary Grossmith fragrance palette". This fragrance, composed by Jean-Marie Santantoni, has an aroma profile of tuberose, citrus, gree, musky, floral, woody, fruity, white floral, powdery, and aromatic.

From Grossmith:

"An enchanting white floral with an underlying cool aspect. The beauty of this composition echoes the air of mystery and sophistication created by a veil.

Vibrant citrus notes and green accords combine attractively with the rich floral heart of geranium, rose, ylang, tuberose and vanilla orchid. The composition rests on a warm, smooth base of cashmeran, amber and musk. The contrast between the cool top notes and warm, opulent floral heart make for an intriguing composition."
