L.12.12 White
A fresh woody gourmand fragrance built around bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, amber, musk. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Pour Femme
Opens with a soft blush of rose and peony — pretty but not loud, more powdery than fresh. The heart settles quickly into iris, which pulls things cool and slightly waxy, keeping the florals from reading as sweet. The dry-down is where it earns its keep: sandalwood, cashmere wood, and tonka bean layer into a warm, skin-close base with vanilla just barely rounding the edges. Projection is modest; sillage is intimate rather than trailing. A well-behaved, quietly cozy floral that doesn't demand attention — for cooler days, office wear, or anyone who wants something feminine without fuss.
