La Feuillaison(1920)

A green, leaf-forward composition from Francois Coty, opening on bergamot and green notes before a heart built around green leaves, closing on musk, woods, and vetiver. La Feuillaison, Leaf-Growth, names the springtime moment when trees put out new leaves, an unusually literal, seasonal-botanical theme distinct from Coty's more common flower or place names. Vetiver's earthy, smoky character in the base reinforces the green, growing-things impression established in the opening.
