Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light sprays close to your skin. The citrus notes are bright but short-lived, so reapply as needed to maintain that fresh, invigorating top note. The amber base provides lasting comfort without overpowering, making it ideal for both daytime freshness and evening warmth.
