About

Classique Parfum opens with a burst of spiced fruit, a juicy pear and mandarin sweetened by bright orange blossom and a hint of exotic star anise. The heart introduces a rich floral bouquet of iris and orchid, deepened by plush plum, ylang-ylang, and a warm, spicy ginger. It settles into a luxurious vanilla amber base, with a sensual musk that lingers on the skin.
