Try before you commit

Coffee-rose richness met by smoky vanilla — dramatic, dinner-onwards.

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.
