South Bay by The Different Company was launched in 2013 and is the creation of perfumer Émilie Coppermann. This woody aromatic fragrance for women and men opens with a vibrant burst of grapefruit and petitgrain, adding an invigorating freshness to the composition. As it settles, freesia and rose hip bring a floral touch that contrasts beautifully against the backdrop of woody notes like vetiver and sandalwood. The finish is warm and earthy, grounded by white suede, creating a scent that feels both modern and lasting.
