About

True Red kicks off with a juicy, not-too-sweet splash of pineapple and orange, avoiding any sticky fruitiness. As it settles, a clean, almost herbal sage steps forward, intertwined with soft jasmine petals. The real magic happens in the dry down, where a rich, musky patchouli base gives it an unexpected depth and seductive warmth that lingers for ages.
