Say Less by Day Three is a fragrance that balances the luminous freshness of citrus and florals with the earthy warmth of musk and woods. Launched in 2023, it opens with bright notes of lemon, citron, and bergamot, creating an invigorating yet subtle aroma. As these top notes fade, the heart of iris and violet emerges, adding a delicate floral complexity. The base layers of rain notes, musk, woody notes, and amber create a grounding warmth that lingers throughout the day.

Application Tips
Apply Say Less with two sprays on pulse points — it starts bright but evolves into a warmer, musky base. The citrus notes are fleeting, so the fragrance is best experienced close to the skin rather than from across the room.
