Coloratura
mandarin orange · sicilian lemon
Coloratura opens on mandarin and Sicilian lemon, a citrus freshness that spreads quickly. The heart plays a white floral register of lily-of-the-valley, peony, white lily and rose. Vetiver and ambergris lay down a quiet base, barely warmer. Wear it in spring or summer, when the light stretches and the air stays light.
