Legend

A fresh fougère held together by lavender, lifted with bergamot and litsea cubeba, rose and apple at the heart. The base trades oakmoss for evernyl, beside sandalwood and tonka bean.

Y

The contrast of a sharp green apple over a base of tonka bean and amber. A modern aromatic, made for every day.
