Fragrance Notes
Top Notes
Prickly pear and bergamot. The opening establishes the fragrance’s first burst of freshness, greenery, fruit or spice.
Heart Notes
Iris and jasmine. This middle stage reveals the main identity of the scent once the opening begins to settle.
Base Notes
Soft musk and light cedar. The drydown provides depth, texture and the longest-lasting impression on skin and clothing.
