Application Tips

Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the fresh top notes will last about an hour before giving way to the deeper musky and woody base. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear, where its moderate sillage allows it to be both noticeable yet subtle.

The story behind the bottle.

The late afternoon by a city rooftop pool, where the sun's heat begins to soften and the air fills with a mix of citrus freshness and woody earthiness.
