Launched in 2025, this fragrance opens with blue lavender and elemi, which provide an invigorating freshness.

Application Tips
Given its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, one or two sprays are sufficient to make a lasting impression. The fragrance blooms gradually on the skin, so it's best applied just before you need it — the blue lavender will introduce a fresh note that fades into the rich base notes over time.
