The First Spray
Bergamot opens bright but not sharp, like citrus folded into whipped cream. Rose and peony arrive close behind, soft and petal-warm rather than perfume-y. The first impression is airy, almost luminous, the way a hotel suite looks when the curtains first open.

- Feels clean and well-made

That Tahitian vanilla with the peony edge either wins you over in the first hour or sends you straight to the sink, so what happened on your skin?
