(Apologies for the off center photo! I've pretty much given up on figuring out how to crop my photos.)
I don't know WHY this perfume works so well for me in the hottest, muggiest part of our Florida summer. But I'm so thankful that it does! AV is actually a very simple fragrance. Sweet and clear with a gentle musk to soften any edges. Sometimes the jasmine is the predominant floral note, other times the freesia takes front and center. Either way they blend beautifully with the lemon note.
If AV were a woman... she'd be wearing a lovely little handkerchief linen sundress (vintage '50s) with a wide brimmed woven straw hat on. Riding her bicycle back from the open air market with it's basket filled with bread, wine and cheese. She probably purchased some fresh figs too! Arriving at the little courtyard of her cottage, she pauses to deeply inhale the jasmine blossoms that cascade over the walls. Then after seeing how heavily laden with fruit the lemon trees are, she decides to make a pitcher of sparkling lemonade to serve. So the wine gets tucked away. A bouquet of fresh sweet flowers on the table.... and there! She awaits her companion. Its all so effortless... and graceful. That's AV.
