Why you'll love it
-
Apple meets lavender. The house pairs the freshness of apple with calming lavender, wrapped in the earthy depth of patchouli, for a fresh opening that settles into something deeper.
-
A praline and vanilla finish. Praline, vanilla and guaiac wood form the sweet, woody base, with sandalwood, pepper and coumarin listed by Fragrantica underneath.
-
Made for cooler days. Fragrantica voters favour winter and fall, then spring, with night slightly ahead of day, so it fits sweater weather and evenings.
-
Gift-ready character. The house calls it elegant, sensual and flamboyant, a natural pick for Eid, Father's Day or a birthday.
