Idylle(1922)
Coty · Francois Coty · Floral
At a glance
A mixed-floral composition from Francois Coty, opening on bergamot before a blended floral heart, closing on musk, woods, and amber. Idylle, idyll or pastoral romance, evokes an untroubled, romantic garden scene, a common evocative naming device distinct from Coty's more literal flower or place names. Its note documentation is relatively thin, consistent with many of Coty's smaller 1920s releases.
