Unexpected Joy
Boldly Seoul
Nectarine Blossom & Honey

Parfait d'Orchidee
Petale d'Ambre
Captivatingly Paris
Lotus Blossom & Water Lily
Energetically New York

Lime Basil & Mandarin

Grapefruit
A sharp citrus bite opens this—real grapefruit pith, not sweetened juice—cut with mint that feels almost medicinal in its clarity.
Amber & Lavender
The opening delivers a cool herbal brightness—mint and lavender tempered by bergamot—that feels immediate and surprisingly clean for a fragrance anchored in amber.
