The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2007 by Memo Paris and crafted by perfumer Alienor Massenet, Sundance is a floral fragrance that balances sweet florals with warm spices. The composition opens with the freshness of bergamot and lemon, giving way to the rich layers of tuberose and tiare flower. A heart of iris adds depth before settling into a base of sandalwood, tonka bean, and musk, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both intimate and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply Sundance sparingly to the pulse points — the top notes are bright but fleeting, while the base notes unfold slowly. This fragrance is best suited for evening wear when its warmth can linger close to the skin.
