The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012 by Zadig & Voltaire and crafted by Nathalie Lorson, Tome 1 La Purete for Her is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that seamlessly blends freshness with warmth. The composition opens with the bright zest of bergamot and African orange flower, giving way to a heart of peony and jasmine, which adds a delicate sweetness. The base notes of milk, almond, tonka bean, musk, and guaiac wood create a powdery, nutty finish that is both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

This fragrance has moderate longevity and sillage, so aim for two sprays to ensure it lasts through the day. The powdery base notes develop over time, making it best suited for daytime wear when you want a warm yet understated scent.
