Good scents tell a story, and this one moves from bright to bold. Bergamot, red fruits and apple make a sparkling, juicy start. It is short-lived, and the heart soon takes over with tuberose, sambac jasmine and lily of the valley. Tuberose is the star here: creamy, white and impossible to ignore. The base is where the warmth builds. Tonka bean and cocoa make a smooth, sweet-ambery finish, with sandalwood and vetiver giving it a woody spine and amber adding glow. It ends rich and slightly chocolatey on skin. The house points this at women who like a noticeable scent with a sweeter finish. That makes it an evening choice: dinners, parties and nights out. It also suits cooler months, when sweet, warm notes feel at home. In daytime a lighter application keeps it polished. As an eau de parfum it has the staying power to last into the night, and the tuberose gives it good presence in a room. Bottom line: a confident, sweet floral with a chocolate and tonka finish, made to be noticed.
