Created by Annick Menardo for the fashion house Lolita Lempicka, this composition opens on anise, bergamot, and violet leaf, moves through a heart of liquorice and iris, and closes on vanilla, amber, and tonka bean. Its distinctive anise-liquorice opening, unusual in mainstream feminine perfumery, gave it an instantly recognizable, slightly medicinal-sweet signature, and it remains one of the most frequently cited anise-forward fragrances in modern perfumery.
