Petit
lavender · citruses · bergamot
Petit opens on lavender and bergamot, a citrus freshness that settles quickly on the skin. In the heart, mimosa and jasmine take over, with a quiet touch of rose. The base of vanilla and tonka bean stays soft and powdery. Wear it in spring or summer, when the air warms.
