Application Tips
Apply Bas de Soie lightly to pulse points. The green top notes are fleeting but powerful, so it’s best to let the powdery and earthy base notes take center stage as they develop over time. This fragrance is ideal for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet distinctive scent that evolves throughout the day.
