About

Imagine a stroll through a blooming garden after a spring downpour. This fragrance opens with a sharp, dewy greenness, reminiscent of crushed tomato leaves and fresh coriander, which quickly evolves into a heart of rich rose, bright freesia, and delicate peony. The base settles into an earthy blend of damp vetiver, woody sandalwood, and a prominent, sometimes divisive, patchouli, keeping it grounded and a touch mysterious.
