About

Imagine a refined, grown-up vanilla, less about overt sweetness and more about nuance. It opens with a sparkling burst of bergamot and a distinctive sea salt note, softened by delicate freesia. The heart reveals creamy cashmere wood with an earthy touch of immortelle and subtle orchid, leading to a base where warm vanilla intertwines with rich benzoin, tolu balsam, and a hint of musk. It's a salty-sweet interplay that feels both natural and sophisticated.
