curacao · bergamot · pear blossom

Pulse opens on bright citrus, curaçao and bergamot, while pear blossom adds a clear, soft sweetness. At the heart, orchid, jasmine and peony weave a velvety floral bouquet. The base of vanilla, musk and woodsy notes stays warm and close to the skin. Wear it in spring or summer, when the light lingers on your skin.
