This long-lasting, clean fragrance opens with soft, bright notes of bergamot and pear, gently unfolding into a floral heart of jasmine, rose, and violet. It's balanced by a base of vanilla, musk, and moss, giving it a warm, second-skin finish that wears for up to over 12 hours.

Fragrance Family: Warm & Spicy.
Scent Type: Warm & Sheer.
Key Notes: Bergamot, Jasmine, Musk.

About the Bottle: Inspired by modernist jewelry, the custom glass bottle is designed to feel like an objet d'art that sits comfortably in the palm of your hand—a nod to the tradition of fragrance as a timeless accessory.

About the Fragrance: Inspired by old-world techniques and vintage notes, this concentrated extrait melts into the skin for a pure scent that endures all day. Developed in Paris, it balances elements of old and new, as well as softness and depth. Its complex blend is both familiar and intriguing, offering a fresh perspective on modern fragrances.

Directions

Spray onto your wrists, neck, and pulse points — the natural warmth of your body will help diffuse the scent throughout the day.

Avoid rubbing or dabbing your skin as this breaks down the fragrance, causing it to wear off more quickly.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Obsessed It is on the pricier side but I do love the notes and how long it lasts

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very sophisticated fragrance. This is my new daily perfume. It lasts really well. I usually wear Issey Miyake and rarely branch out. I like a fresh smelling fragrance. I have had a lot of compliments when I wear this and lots of people ask what it is. I am going to get the handbag size version for travelling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unusual happy scent This is an unusual and 'happy' perfume! People have commented when I have worn it. It definitely grows on you - it's kind of fresh, zingy but comforting all at the same time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful! This perfume is DIVINE! I just wish is came in a bigger size. The bottle is beautiful but the scent is so feminine with a multitude of layers to it and lasts beautifully on your skin.
