Nostalgic with a modern edge, Terry de Gunzburgs Ombre Mercure is a beautifully feminine blend of florals, with an opening burst of violet leaf evolving to a clean, powdery heart of iris, violet, rose, ylang ylang and orris root. The lingering woody base creates a sensuous allure balancing the florals flawlessly to envelop the wearer with a multi-layered, long-wearing veil of enchantment. A perfect blend of light and shade, this is reminiscent of the classic chypres, while the whisper of violet evokes vintage powder, silk-satin and statement red lipstick. A must for those who love to make an entrance, this harks back to Hollywoods heyday just spritz on your pulse points to instantly exude allure.

Apply to pulse points and take care not to 'crush' the heart by rubbing wrists together. Alternatively, spritz the air and walk into the fragrant haze to veil yourself with scent from top to toe.

Rare and unexpected, Ombre Mercure celebrates the many facets of the iris harnessing the purest iris butter to capture the flowers contradictory qualities. Both powdery and slightly woody, this changeable fragrance is floral but bold, balanced by a heady base of sandalwood and benzoin that enhances its feminine mystique.
