About

Stride to the Sun opens with an invigorating burst of lemon and mint, enhanced by the spicy kick of pink pepper. The heart reveals the luscious sweetness of fig entwined with fresh gardenia and neroli, creating a radiant floral melody. As it settles, warm woody notes and a hint of almond emerge, grounded by a sultry base of musk and ambergris. It's a scent that captures the essence of a sun-drenched day and the allure of a balmy evening, inviting you to embrace both energy and elegance.
