The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Thinking of You arrived in 2010. The fragrance opens with a fruity accord that feels immediate and inviting. The composition settles into a floral heart that carries the scent through its midlife, before settling into a warm base. The overall impression is one of sweetness that remains present throughout the wear, with each layer contributing to a cohesive whole. It's a fragrance that remains present on the skin for hours, offering a consistent experience from first spray to final drydown.
The composition of Thinking of You brings together multiple elements that create its distinctive character. Fruity notes provide an opening that is both sweet and grounded. The floral heart includes honeysuckle and jasmine, with lily of the valley providing a clean transitional quality. The base features vanilla that adds warmth and depth. The overall effect is of a fragrance that balances sweetness with other elements to create something that feels cohesive rather than one-dimensional. Each layer builds on the previous one, creating a scent that develops over time on the skin.
The evolution
Thinking of You opens with a fruity introduction that includes plum and other notes. As the fragrance develops, the initial fruitiness evolves into a floral middle ground where honeysuckle becomes more apparent, supported by jasmine. The composition continues to change as it moves into its later stages, with warmer base notes becoming more prominent. Vanilla contributes to the drydown, adding a creamy quality. On fabric, the fragrance may leave a softer impression that can persist for some time. The scent remains close to the skin throughout much of its wear, offering a consistent presence that doesn't overwhelming the space around the wearer.
