"It’s the Indian summer, when the hot days are over and the sweet freshness of the evening begins to fall. A sensual elixir marked with white and beige hues, a pure representation of contemporary sensuality. The perfume evolves through the monochromatic style of Rothko where materials are dancing in circle one after another one. The leather is stripped down, dusted of any impurities, made it white and pure. The green notes embrace passionately while musk and bergamot push to the skies of Italy."TOP: Mandarin, Bergamot, Pineapple HEART: Pink berries, White suede, Sandalwood BASE: Vanilla,Birch oil, White musk, Grey muskAvailable as a 100 ml Eau de Parfum.
