Lavish

Lavish lives up to its name. Ripe plum opens with a dark, juicy sweetness, saffron adds a golden, slightly leathery spice, and a first breath of iris brings a cool, powdery shimmer to the top. The heart is a rich floral bouquet. Orris takes the lead with a smooth, buttery powder, jasmine sambac adds a creamy, heady sweetness, and rose gives a classic, rounded petal warmth. Together they feel plush, like velvet and silk. The base is warm and resinous. Vetiver gives a dry, earthy depth, papyrus adds a pale, papery woodiness, and liquidambar brings a balsamic, slightly spiced sweetness that glows on the skin for hours. At 30 percent extrait it has excellent staying power and a polished, noticeable trail. It suits autumn and winter, and special evenings, weddings, dinners and any time you want to dress up a little. It is a good pick for anyone who loves classic, powdery florals with a modern, fruity twist. Bottom line: a glamorous plum-iris floral with a resinous, long-lasting base.
