The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024 by Thameen and crafted by perfumer Sophie Labbé, Not Telling is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that blends the freshness of coconut water and mandarin orange with the rich warmth of vanilla and tonka bean. The heart of ylang-ylang and tuberose adds a sweet floral depth, while sandalwood and ambergris provide an earthy base. This composition captures a sense of delicate intimacy and subtle indulgence.
Apply one to two sprays on pulse points — Not Telling develops gradually over time. The fruity top notes are fleeting but set up the rich base notes beautifully, which will last through the evening without overpowering.
