At its heart, tender whispers of carnation and exotic ylang-ylang add a floral softness that balances the fruity opening. The result is a smooth, understated dry-down that stays close to the skin for a subtly memorable trail.

Perfect for casual daytime wear—from errands and workdays to relaxed brunch dates. This light, breezy scent complements laid-back attire like soft blouses, skirts, or comfy knitwear. A simple spritz enhances mood and confidence without ever overpowering.
