The original Silences was released in 1978. It was a grand green floral with a heart of springtime flowers wrapped in rich rose and jasmine layered over a woody musky base dripping with vetiver and oak moss. Eau de Parfum Sublime (created by Serge Majoullier of Mane) kept the slightly bitter and resinous galbanum and cassia opening and removed the orange blossoms and tart citric notes, while adding a crisp and fruity pear accord. The original (incredulously enough) did not have a lot of aldehydes, but the modern one does…and they are glorious.
