Santa Eulalia · 2016

Floral · Green · Spicy

Santa Eulalia Aprilis is a floral perfume for women, given depth by green, spicy and woody tones.

In the heart, orange blossom, rose and jasmine bring out the floral character and soften the opening. In the dry-down, oud, benzoin and patchouli add woody depth and a gently sweet warmth. The green accord stays as a fresh thread running through the flowers. Spice and wood remain present throughout without weighing down the floral body.
