Swan

FeminineRated 3.0/5 · 3 reviews

musk · lily · basil

Swan opens on a green, floral breath, where basil and galbanum meet lily and ylang-ylang. The heart turns to rose and jasmine, then the base lingers on iris, peach, patchouli and vetiver. Musk and powder give the trail an intimate softness. Wear it in spring or summer, when the air is mild and your skin holds the warmth.
