Two songs into the evening the citrus is gone and the iris has taken over, powdery and cool, sitting just above the collar. Kumquat and lime give it a short bitter lift. Then the flowers arrive in a group, violet and Italian iris leading, lilac and Egyptian jasmine filling in, lily-of-the-valley keeping the whole thing green at the edges. The base is where it turns strange in a good way: malt and vanilla under white musk, with sandalwood and cedar giving it a spine. For a woman who dresses for herself first. Gallery openings, long dinners, anything with a coat check. 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 milestone evenings, black-tie occasions, and rooms where every detail counts. Made for our Spring selection.
