Description
Who says a perfume box must whisper? This one sings, in bold stripes of green and orange that recall a circus tent pitched on a village green, or the bright cotton dresses hanging from a rail at the Saturday market in Aix. It has the energy of a brass band warming up, of children running ahead to the carnival, of a summer that has only just begun and promises to go on forever.
It would suit a woman with a playful wardrobe and a collection of fragrances to match, someone who wears citrus in July and something spicier once the leaves turn. Two tiny perfume bottles could nestle inside, side by side, ready to travel from the dresser to an evening clutch. Among shelves of more formal porcelain, it brings a welcome burst of mischief. It refuses to take itself too seriously, which is exactly why it is so easy to love.
