Two hours in, it is all vanilla and cocoa, and the flowers are a memory. Lemon, bergamot and green herbal notes open sheer. Magnolia, orange blossom, pear and rose fill the middle, pretty but brief. The base is the reason to wear it, Tahitian vanilla and Madagascar vanilla layered with cacao and clean ambrette. For someone who wants vanilla built as perfume rather than dessert. Cooler months, evening. Announces itself for the first two hours, then lingers close for 8-10 hours. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum with 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on receptions, negotiations, and any threshold you want to cross with presence. Made for our Fall selection.
