Allure
lemon · mandarin orange · peach
Allure opens on bright lemon, mandarin and juicy peach, lifted by bergamot. The heart unfolds in honeysuckle, jasmine and orange blossom, with a velvety peony. The base of vanilla and sandalwood stays quiet and warm. Wear it in spring or autumn, when the air turns cool and the trail stays light.
