Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
The Fragrance: Fresh and crisp top notes of white freesia, eucalyptus, birch leaf soften into mid notes of morning jasmine, lavender buds, and heliotrope before settling into earthy base notes of tree moss, upcycled cedarwood Virginia, and warm sandalwood. The Feeling: It’s a bright and crisp morning as you gaze out the window at the endless blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean.
Nashi pear and mirabelle plum meet mandarin in a crisp, clean opening. Waterlily and iris drift through lily of the valley at the heart, softening the scent while maintaining clarity.
