Notes

Bright Bergamot and Lemon are blended with Tarragon and Galbanum for a refreshingly tart beginning. A decadent floral bouquet makes up the heart of this scent with Tuberose, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Violet, Rose, Ylang Ylang, Carnation, Broom Flower, and Orange Blossom. A hint of Clove segues easily into a warm, woody base with Sandalwood and Cedar blended with sultry Musk. Earthy Oakmoss blends with buttery Orris and sweet Tonka Bean to create a creamy finish that keeps this scent bright and long lasting.
