Aftelier Haute Claire

Indie natural line Aftelier launched Haute Claire in July: This name suggested by Nathan Branch refers to a famous sword from 12th century French literature. Haute Claire is both crisp and soft, cool and warm. The fresh edgy greenness of galbanum is offset by the creamy floral of ylang ylang edged with honeysuckle. The green and floral notes harmonize in perfect pitch, with neither dominating the other. A warm base of vetiver and vanilla provides a soft finish of sweet grass. Additional notes include lime, sweet orange and clary sage. Aftelier Haute Claire will be available in 30 ml Eau de Parfum ($150).
