MELTING FLOWERS

350 USD

A study in shape-shifting white petals.

Sun-ripened nectarine throws everything into bright relief, pink peppercorn dancing at the edges. Blooming gardenia and jasmine meet at the heart, creamy lushness against honey-soft tea, their velvet petals dissolving until the boundary between them disappears. Then, Ambrox Super casts a shadow of amber warmth, and sandalwood entwined with musks draws the composition closer to skin, where it slowly becomes indistinguishable from the wearer.

50 ml

TOP: Nectarine, Pink Peppercorn, Sri Lankan Cinnamon

MIDDLE: Brazilian Gardenia, Egyptian Jasmine, Violet

DRY DOWN: Ambrox Super, Amyris, Australian Sandalwood, Musk, Virginia Cedar
