Aromatic Rouge EDP

Powdery and comforting, smelling of cosmetic talc. Dewy rose, violet and blackcurrant lead, hawthorn and jasmine sweeten the heart, and vanilla, musk and incense hold the soft finish.
A clean, brisk citrus with a warm spice tingle from ginger and cardamom and a mossy finish. It works hard on ordinary days: office, errands, warm weather. Expect a short wear.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Soft and clean, it fits the office and casual days, and its comfort makes it a good pre-bed scent. Too intimate for formal events.
Seasons
Mandarin, ginger and cardamom are bright and warm: summer is the main season, with spring next. The dry oakmoss base is too light to carry winter.
Occasions
Clean and brisk, it is a natural for the office, sport and casual days. It lacks the drama for a date night or formal event.
