The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 by Bond No 9, Saks Fifth Avenue for Her is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of New York's iconic department store. Perfumer Michel Almairac crafted this scent around tuberose and vanilla, creating an aroma that oscillates between sweetness and warmth. The white floral top notes introduce a crisp and airy freshness, which then evolves into the creamy richness of vanilla and the subtle animalic undertones, adding depth and complexity.
Apply Saks Fifth Avenue for Her two sprays at pulse points. The initial freshness of the white florals gives way to the rich vanilla and animalic undertones, which develop best on skin throughout the day. It's a scent that reads better close to skin rather than in a room.
