Ma Griffe
Carven Ma Griffe eau de parfum is a white floral fragrance with an aromatic, citrus-bright character over a warm, amber-sweet base. It opens with a crisp lift of bergamot and lemon, while a green gardenia gives the early wear a fresh, slightly luminous quality. As it settles, jasmine comes forward at the heart, rounded by rose and sandalwood, so the scent turns softer and more enveloping without losing its polish.
The drydown is where the composition deepens. Vetiver adds an earthy, dry thread, while musk and tonka bean lend a powdery, gently sweet warmth that stays close to the skin. Overall the fragrance feels elegant and self-assured rather than loud, suiting a professional setting, a casual afternoon or a night out.
Its projection is strong and it is generally long lasting, so a light hand usually goes a long way. It sits comfortably across the seasons, offering a bright freshness in spring and summer and a richer, enveloping warmth in autumn and winter.
