"The power of seduction, the iris pallida dances in harmony with the Balsam and the Patchouli."
GENTILE:
Top notes Italian Basil
Heart notes Geranium, Osmanthus
Base notes Vetiver, Java
"The formula is built around the most gentle (Gentile means gentle in Italian) components of the Vetiver roots, probably the most iconic of the men's fragrances, together with the Osmanthus ."
LUBERON:
Top notes Mediterranean lavender
Heart notes May Rose
Base notes Oak Musk
"Luberon is a composition which comes directly from the valleys of the south of France in spring".
LADY DAY:
Top notes Galbanum
Heart notes Gardenia
Base notes Balsam
"Billie Holiday, the famous blues & jazz singer would never go on stage without wearing a gardenia in her hair.
MCG dedicates this fragrance to her, to her talent and to the beauty of her voice".
