Application Tips
Given its moderate longevity and intimate sillage, Tendresse 18 is best applied in layers. Start with one spray on your pulse points and let it settle before adding another layer if desired. It’s particularly suited for daytime wear where the powdery notes can subtly enhance any moment.
