The Fragrance: Fresh and fruity top notes of bergamot, cardamom, and apple leaf soften into floral notes of lavender, geranium, and suede accord before drying into an unforgettable and warm blend of cedar, vanilla, and amber.

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.
