Sienna

Sienna is a quiet, tender scent. It begins with a shimmer of bergamot, and bitter almond adds a faint marzipan sweetness that makes the opening feel inviting rather than sharp. Peony forms the centre of the fragrance. It smells fresh, rosy and slightly dewy, and ylang-ylang adds a creamy, golden warmth that gives the florals a rounded, romantic shape. Together they feel graceful and light on the skin. The drydown is soft and cosy. Vanilla and coumarin make a smooth, hay-like sweetness that sits close to the body and lingers on scarves and collars. As a 30 percent extrait it lasts through an afternoon and evening, but it never gets loud. The sillage is a gentle halo, which suits quiet company and close conversation. It is a lovely choice for spring days, weddings, brunches and relaxed dates, and anyone who likes florals that are warm, not sharp. Bottom line: a tender peony-vanilla floral that feels comforting and polished.
