About

Essence of Success kicks off with an invigorating burst of citrusy bergamot and crisp green apple, instantly refreshing. The heart then reveals a smooth aromatic blend of lavender and sage, softened by a hint of geranium, giving it a classic, clean feel. It eventually settles into a subdued base of warm amber and earthy patchouli, providing a gentle close.
