Your Moments
Fruit and flowers in equal measure, with a spice thrown in to stop it being obvious: Tous Your Moments Eau de Toilette was composed by Violaine Collas and Véronique Nyberg.
Tangerine starts it, sweeter and softer than most citrus, and blackberry arrives almost at the same moment with a dark, slightly winey juiciness. Apricot adds a velvety roundness behind them, and then cardamom cuts in. That is the clever part. Cardamom is cool, faintly camphorous and a little green, and dropping it into a fruit opening keeps the whole thing from reading as a smoothie.
The middle is a proper bouquet. Peony is light and watery with a crisp edge, lily of the valley is sharp, green and dewy, and jasmine underneath gives the pair some body and a touch of creaminess. The three of them together are bright rather than heavy, which is the point of the composition. Patchouli and white musk then make a deliberately small base. White musk is the clean, laundered, slightly soapy kind rather than anything animal, and patchouli gives it just enough earth to stop the ending being weightless. Nine materials in all, and the weight sits in the first two acts rather than the last.
Eau de toilette strength keeps it easy to wear and easy to reapply, which suits a scent aimed at daytime rather than at occasions. It is light enough for the office, cheerful enough for a weekend, and most at home in spring and early summer.
The company dates itself to 1920, when Salvador Tous Blavi was an apprentice in a Manresa watch repair shop. He and Teresa Ponsa made a jewellery business out of it, the bear became its mark, and from 2000 the Catalan house added bags, watches, eyewear and perfume.
