With nearly 30% fragrance oil in their blend, you can expect it to seamlessly melt into the skin and last for over 12 hours. Classic notes rarely used today, like vibrant aldehydes and rich, fruity orris concrete, are layered with fresh, contemporary scents like pear, vanilla and musk to create an essence that evolves throughout the day.
The chic glass bottle has been crafted to sit comfortably in the palm of your hand, while paying homage to the power of scent as a timeless accessory. Overall, this is a comforting yet feminine aroma that dries down to a sensual and smooth vanilla musk. So, if your mum enjoys fragrances with depth and character, this is a thoughtful pick.
