Application Tips

One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of this bright composition. The fruity top notes are particularly fresh and vibrant, so avoid layering with other strong scents to let them shine through. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its refreshing character can be fully appreciated.
