One answer might stem from Ford’s claim that the scent was inspired by In The Mood For Love, a movie which – amongst many other achievements – expertly challenges preconceived notions of western and eastern aesthetics. In other words, it’s a tribute to all things Lauder, which raises the question of precisely what makes it ‘oriental’. The aldehydic opening echoes White Linen, the mossy woodiness is reminiscent of Knowing and the richness of the floral elements could have come straight from Beautiful. In fact, it owes allegiance to several others too, because it plays out very much like an homage to classic feminines of decades gone by. Leather pops up in Fleur De Chine too, but in this case it’s the ‘well-worn handbag’ variety, a la Aromatics Elixir, a scent to which this one clearly owes some allegiance.
