Fresh, dewy and green little white flowers

Warm, sweet and resinous, like soft incense glowing in a room

Almond-vanilla sweetness, like warm sweet bread

Clean, like freshly washed clothes and baby powder

How it wears

In Nigerian heat, most perfumes project more but fade faster. Spray some on your clothes to make it last longer.
