French Lilac - Pool House

A copious pile of white flowers shed droplets of dew onto a marble countertop, awaiting their planter. A splash just outside signals that the hostess has momentarily abandoned her last-minute chores for a quick dip in the pool.

A heady bouquet of French lilac, heliotrope, muguet and hyacinth, with a barely-there dash of carnation and leafy greens.
