Try before you commit

Marshmallow-rose softness pulled into smoke and rum — the 'boss-lady' evening combo.

The brightener for heavy days.

Spring
Summer
Unisex

Adds an uplifting citrus accessory to anything richer — works whenever a scent feels too heavy for the weather.

Layering Tip

Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.
