In-Depth Summary:
Ma Griffe arrived in 1946, just as the Carven couture house was finding its voice. Jean Carles gave it a brisk, unmistakably green chypre structure: sparkling aldehydes and galbanum, a generous floral heart, and the mossy, resinous woods that make the original fragrance so recognizable.
