About

N°5 Eau Premier opens with a bright, sparkling aldehyde burst, like chilled champagne, softened by delicate neroli and a hint of warm ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a classic bouquet of rose and jasmine, which remains elegant and restrained. It settles into a creamy, powdery vanilla base, with touches of vetiver and sandalwood providing a subtle, sophisticated warmth without being overtly woody.
