By the editors · 2 min readPear and bergamot create a fresh, juicy opening that is both sweet and slightly green in its initial impression. Orange blossom and tuberose form a narcotic, creamy floral heart that feels rich and slightly animalic as it develops. Lily of the valley adds a crisp, dewy counterpoint that lightens the intensity of the white florals. Patchouli provides an earthy, slightly medicinal undertone that grounds the fragrance and adds complexity. Amber, vanilla, and tonka bean build a warm, resinous dry-down that is sweet and comforting. Sandalwood contributes a smooth, woody base that enhances the fragrance’s longevity and depth. Sillage is strong initially, settling to a moderate radius that lasts all day. Ideal for fall and winter evenings.
