The composition is an empowering embrace for the femme fatale, blending fruity freshness with earthy depth.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a lasting effect. The white peach top note fades quickly, but the base notes of patchouli and vanilla will linger throughout the day. Best suited for evening wear when you want a scent that reads as intimate rather than overpowering.
