About

Opening with a zesty burst of grapefruit, bergamot, and crisp green apple, Debut quickly moves into a luminous heart of jasmine and orange blossom, softened by the aquatic touch of water lily. The dry-down reveals a subtly woody base with earthy patchouli, oakmoss, and a whisper of vanilla, grounding the initial fresh floral exuberance. It's an elegant blend of citrus and white florals with a clean, musky finish.
