Orange blossom always ruins a perfume for me and sadly this is no exception. In the opening, it’s sharp and sour on my skin, cutting trough the rest of the composition as usual.
I’m ok with that as Anna Zworykina has let me appreciate and even love, love, love so many other notes and genres i previously detested. I have tried most of her perfumes and there are so few that I don’t like (or love).
After a couple of hours the orange blossom has faded enough for me to be able to enjoy the beautiful florals and amber.

L’Attouchement means something like touching or caressing, as far as I know. And there is definitely a very close, intimate and tender quality to this scent.
It’s overall a warm scent, the labdanum in the base shines through from the very beginning and to the last whiff on the skin.
I adore the labdanum Anna Zworykina uses, it feels like her signature note in a way, because it is featured in many of her perfumes. It’s warm, deep, waxy and slightly salty – almost like smelling warm skin after a long day in the sun. It gives her perfumes a feeling of intimacy. Of feeling safe and loved.
And that’s the feeling this scent evokes as well. It’s like smelling a warm hug, a caress between to people who deeply care about eachother.
The opening is on the green, slightly aromatic and floral side. The green tea is especially noticeable. It has a lovely soft, dewy quality. It gives the scent a beautiful young and tender appearance, before the deeper and warmer notes take over and gives L’Attouchement a wonderfully spicy touch that speaks of passion and pleasure.
The labdanum grows stronger, pairing with the spicyness of cloves, adding a salty, waxy skin like quality to the mix. The floral notes linger, keeping the scent youthful and somewhat graceful.
The entire composition feels like young love. The first adoration of another, the first time being adored. It’s like smelling blushing cheeks, heavy breath and caressing hands – the first physical signs of love and affection between two young lovers.
In the drydown, just before the scent disappears from the skin, I can detect a slight sweet and almost boozy quality. It plays beautifully with that salty, waxy labdanum and the heat from the cloves. Just gorgeous!
L’Attouchement is an evocative and poetic scent. Beautifully composed. I’m so glad I own a bottle of it – it is now, sadly, discontinued.
Longevity is good, on me the scent lasts 6-8 hours. Sillage starts off medium, and dries down to a soft and warm skin scent.
