Launched in 2013 by the indie line Kerosene, Pretty Machine was created by John Pegg and is an intriguing blend of citrus, white floral, yellow floral, and aromatic notes. The opening is crisp and bright with a touch of green, which gives way to a powdery, sweet heart that feels both modern and nostalgic. This composition captures the essence of a fresh start, combining the brightness of citrus with the warmth of florals in a harmonious balance.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — the citrus opening is vibrant but fades quickly into the floral heart. The powdery base notes emerge after about an hour and carry through the day without needing a reapplication.
