About

Grand Cuvée opens with a sparkling pop of Champagne Rosé and a hint of sweet, juicy peach, quickly deepened by a rich, boozy brandy and the intriguing earthiness of cork. The heart introduces a soft skin musk and a creamy argan note that evokes a polished, clean feel. It mellows into a warm, inviting base of smooth cognac, golden amber, and grounding cedar, leaving a sophisticated, woody, and slightly powdery trail.
