After My Own Heart

Launched in 2006 by San Francisco perfumer Ineke Ruhland, After My Own Heart is the first in her alphabetized series of scents.
 
A soliflore based on lilac it opens with a tang of green bergamot, made fruity and tart by raspberry. The green notes carry into the heart where it’s all about the lilac – beautiful, clean lilac. Sandalwood, heliotrope and musk soften it and give it a powdery dry-down.

Layers aren’t clearly defined in After My Own Heart , so the result is that you experience the lilacs – the leaves, flowers and stems -  almost at once. Beautiful and evocative, it is the perfect harbinger of spring.
 
Notes: bergamot, raspberry, green foliage, lilac, sandalwood, heliotrope and musk.
 
Type: EDP
