Why you'll love it
-
Juicy red mandarin. Red mandarin, bergamot and pink peppercorn open the pyramid, with saffron for warmth.
-
Red thyme at the core. Red thyme sits in the heart with geranium and black pepper, an aromatic, peppery centre.
-
Roasted tonka and cedar. Roasted tonka bean, cedarwood, Ambrox and vetiver form the base, which the house calls a luminous trail.
-
Concentrated, so go light. Carios is sold as an Extrait de Parfum, which holds more fragrance oil than an Eau de Parfum, so one or two sprays are enough.
