The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

South by Mendittorosa, launched in 2013 and crafted by perfumer Amélie Bourgeois, is a Floral Green fragrance that seamlessly blends woody and nutty accords with fresh spicy and powdery notes. The composition opens with green freshness, which then gives way to warm, earthy undertones, creating a balance between the vibrant energy of nature and the cozy comfort of woodsy warmth.

How to wear it

Apply South to pulse points for an intimate experience that stays close to the skin rather than projecting strongly. The powdery base notes will bloom gradually over time, so layering with a light mist is recommended.
