Le Galion - 222
This fragrance was discovered in the archives of Le Galion, an unsigned creation dating from 1930-1935 all but forgotten in a box.
This is a new page in the history of Le Galion which opens up a bridge between the past and the future, culminating in a mysterious and sensual fragrance creation built around an amber oriental accord.The fragrance has a soft opening with its mix of violet flowers and slightly sweet wood from Kashmir. The contrast within this fragrance comes from the antique blending of aromatic balsamic, myrrh and styrax, contrasted with modern wisps of white musk. Sweet balsamic notes extend until the finish, allowing the wearer to discover the traditional subtlety of sandalwood and the refinement of leather.
