Created by perfumers Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion, this scent opens with bright citrus notes from grapefruit, mandarin orange, and bergamot, giving way to a heart of tea, pink pepper, and white florals like orange blossom, neroli, and jasmine.

Application Tips

Apply two sprays to pulse points for optimal warmth. The citrus opening is bright but fades quickly, so reapply as needed throughout the day. This scent reads best close to skin rather than in a room.
