Application Tips
Apply Vraie Blonde sparingly at first; the aldehydic top notes are bright but can be overpowering in excess. Allow it to develop on skin for a few minutes before deciding if another spritz is needed. It's particularly effective during cooler evenings when its warm and spicy elements come to life.
