Composition & Character
How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Tuberose
Tuberose, with its rich, heady aroma reminiscent of jasmine but more voluptuous, emerges from the lush landscapes of Asia. Its scent is both sweet and subtly spicy, with undertones that can veer towards the green or even the slightly soapy, depending on how it's processed.
Frangipani
Frangipani, with its sweetly heady aroma reminiscent of warm nights and blooming gardens in Polynesia, evokes the essence of tropical paradise. Its scent is rich and full-bodied, leaning towards honeyed sweetness with a subtle green undertone that grounds it in nature’s lush palette.
Magnolia
Magnolia's scent is a lush, floral whisper, evoking the softness of spring mornings and the promise of new beginnings. Its essence is captured from the blossoms of various magnolia species found across temperate regions, each contributing nuances to its rich, powdery aroma.
