You get the apple immediately, and then you spend the next hour deciding whose kitchen it came from. Bergamot and apple open it loud and green, tart enough to be almost sour. Black tea is the whole middle, dry and tannic, and it does more work than a single note usually does. Underneath, black amber and musk turn it warm while oakmoss keeps a damp, slightly bitter floor under everything. For someone who likes being asked what they are wearing. Weekday afternoons, coffee, an unhurried walk back. Blooms gently up close, then rests as a 6-8 hour second skin. 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 market strolls, bookshop hours, and the easy rhythm of a day off. Made for our Spring selection. Show more
