Made for dates and warm days, a bright, sweet white floral where gardenia and jasmine meet a brown sugar warmth. Pear blossom and red berries give the opening its sparkle.
A gentle, fruity rose that is fresh and uncomplicated. Pear and apple brighten it, peony and jasmine soften it, and musk and patchouli finish. It fades quickly.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Pear blossom, red berries and gardenia suit spring best, and the lightness carries it through summer. By winter the sweetness has nothing to hold on to.
Occasions
Cheerful and romantic, it is a natural for dates and everyday wear, with a trail that welcomes rather than overwhelms. It is too playful for very formal evenings.
Seasons
Rose, pear and peony suit spring and summer best. Autumn is workable; winter swallows it.
Occasions
Soft and romantic, it is fine for the office, casual days and a daytime outing. It lacks the weight for formal events.
