It opens with fresh and warm spicy notes that create an inviting atmosphere, reminiscent of freshly baked bread.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance with two sprays — it develops best close to skin and takes about an hour for the base notes to fully bloom. It's perfect for cooler evenings when you want a comforting aroma that stays warm and inviting.
