It begins with a burst of blackberry and pear, brightened by bergamot for a crisp, inviting opening that feels both airy and refined. The initial impression is light and composed—never overwhelming, but present enough to draw admiration from those near you.
The middle notes reveal a luscious floral-gourmand heart where black currant mingles with honeysuckle, frangipani, and jasmine.
