Our take
What does Tome 1 La Pureté for Her smell like?
In 2012 Zadig & Voltaire released a feminine version of Tome 1 La Pureté, a 2009 fragrance designed as unisex. Several retailers credit Nathalie Lorson with the formula. It opens clear, with bergamot and a light orange blossom. The start is short and sets a calm tone. The heart is where it gets interesting. An almond note, close to milk, blends with jasmine tea that brings a small bitterness. Think warm almond milk. The tea keeps it from going sugary, which is the clever part. The base stays soft, with tonka bean, a musk that smells of clean skin and creamy sandalwood. Nothing is too sweet and nothing shouts. Next to Narciso Rodriguez For Her, another popular skin musk, Tome 1 for Her is milkier and more gourmand. It is also much quieter.
When to wear it
A comfort scent for cool days at the office or at home. Spray it on a wool sweater to make it last.
It belongs to the Floral, Woody, Musky family. Tome 1 La Pureté for Her is one of 8 creations by Zadig & Voltaire in our encyclopedia.
