About

Opens with a vibrant burst of mandarin and crisp apple, quickly followed by a rich, jammy cranberry and juicy mango that’s simply delectable. The heart blooms with a lush bouquet of freesia, iris, peony, and exotic orchid, all underpinned by a surprisingly decadent dark chocolate. As it settles, a smooth blend of vanilla, tonka bean, and soft musk emerges, grounding the fruity-floral sweetness with a creamy warmth that lasts and lasts.
