What wearers say
“Someone said this was the most technically perfect tuberose scent to exist and I couldn’t agree more! It is opulent, absolutely over-the-top tuberose that just lasts and lasts and lasts. A masterpiece.”
“I remember sniffing this several years ago when I was getting back into fragrances and thinking this had an "old lady" smell. Well, fast forward to 2026, and I am now that old lady that loves this! I think it's the mix of melon and coconut that makes this stand out, preventing it from being just another floral. Longevity and projection are very good, and I love how versatile this is.I got the 10mL travel spray after finishing the sample in the discovery set. I would have gotten a 30mL but at that price point, I think I'm just going to get another 10mL travel spray when it runs out.”
“Wonderful! The white floral with the fresh green in the opening tells me this was created by a master. Progresses to a creamy tuberose/jasmine with a subtle depth that draws you in. Late spring morning/early afternoon in a garden enjoying tea.A masterpiece, from opening to the finale, that is on the top shelf.”
