Perfumers Harry Frémont and Olivier Cresp crafted this composition with a delicate balance between floral and vanilla notes, creating an aroma that is both powdery and woody.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to ensure the fragrance lasts through the day. The powdery and woody notes emerge gradually, so it's best not to layer additional scents that might overpower its understated elegance.
