You know the original, and this is that, turned up, with flowers where the fruit used to end. Passionfruit, Peach and Raspberry open exactly as loud as expected, but Bulgarian Rose is present from the first minute this time. The heart is fuller, Gardenia and Jasmine Sambac over Blackcurrant, Lily of the Valley and that dry Sand accord. Bourbon Vanilla, Ambergris, Australian Sandalwood, Indian Patchouli, Heliotrope and Musk make the base thicker and far longer. For anniversary evenings and weekend escapes. Warm months, though it holds up in the cold; go light on it. 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 winter galas, signing tables, and the quiet authority of a well-cut suit. Made for our Spring selection.
