About

Opening with a crisp burst of mandarin and the intriguing floral-spicy whisper of star anise, this fragrance soon blossoms into a heart dominated by the delicate, green freshness of lily of the valley and peony, rounded by a clean tea note. The dry down introduces a creamy, slightly sweet warmth from ylang-ylang and sandalwood, underpinned by a soft, clean musk. It's a journey from airy dewiness to a gentle, comforting embrace.
