Launched in 2017 by M. Micallef and crafted by Jean-Claude Astier, Tendre Douceur is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance that balances sweet and gourmand notes with a powdery warmth. The composition opens with the bright sweetness of cherry and fruity accents before transitioning into a heart of chocolate and amber. This creates a rich, comforting blend that feels like a soft embrace, making it both indulgent and approachable for both women and men.

Application Tips
Apply Tendre Douceur to pulse points for an intimate warmth that builds on your skin. The gourmand notes are best experienced close up rather than from across the room, so avoid over-spraying and let it settle into your personal space.
