The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1957 by Atkinsons, Tendresse 18 is a fragrance that captures the essence of a bygone era. This floral and powdery scent opens with fresh fruity notes, which give way to a heart of sweet florals before settling into a base that hints at something slightly sour. The composition evokes the delicate balance between freshness and warmth, making it a lasting piece in any fragrance collection.
Given its moderate longevity and intimate sillage, Tendresse 18 is best applied in layers. Start with one spray on your pulse points and let it settle before adding another layer if desired. It’s particularly suited for daytime wear where the powdery notes can subtly enhance any moment.
