When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on floral, fruity and powdery - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date

Its vintage, powdery floral character makes it better suited for formal events and intimate date nights than for casual wear or the office. It's not a scent for high-energy activities, definitely. The lack of reviews on modern wear confirms its older-era appeal.

About

Tendresse 18 is a full-bodied embrace of florals, initially sweet and bright before settling into a soft, comforting powderiness. Imagine stepping into a grand, sun-drenched boudoir, surrounded by dried petals and antique vanity cases. There's a subtle fruitiness that adds a touch of playful complexity, preventing it from becoming overly staid, but the overall impression is one of gentle, floral elegance, culminating in a plush, almost cushiony drydown.
