About

Opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and mandarin, sharpened by a contemporary pink pepper fizz. The heart introduces a vibrant, almost culinary basil, softened by delicate jasmine and a refreshing tea accord, creating an aromatic Mediterranean breeze. It settles into a chic, woody base of earthy vetiver and patchouli, made silky with a whisper of cashmeran, leaving an elegant, lingering trail.
