About

Dare kicks off with a lively, peppery fizz of bergamot and pink pepper, spiced up with a hint of cardamom. This bright opening soon settles into a sophisticated heart where smooth leather wraps around a clean, slightly sweet bouquet of orange blossom and jasmine. The base is an earthy, grounding blend of cedar and vetiver, with a touch of patchouli adding warmth and depth, leaving a modern woody trail.
