🕰️ The Inspiration: The Afternoon Estate
The smell of a garden party in 1914; polished wood tables, damask roses, and the scent of a fresh quince tart. Victorian Picnic captures the cozy, noble soul of the original Burberry era. It mixes the Quince with Aged Rose and Sun-bleached Cotton. It is polished, vibrant, and timeless.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Earth and Nectar
The scent opens with Sparkling Bergamot and Green Mandarin. The heart is Golden Quince and Geranium (The Mint). The base is Aged Patchouli and White Sandalwood. It is smooth and warm.
