Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
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. The Feeling: On-time, put-together, and expertly dressed, you are ready for your next lunch meeting downtown.
Rhubarb, bergamot, and green lemon open with fresh, verdant brightness. Jasmine, green tea, and fennel bloom at the heart, evoking the lushness of a sun-drenched garden.
