Floral · Green · Synthetic

Solférino 08 - Un Baiser Place Vendôme is a unisex scent that sets a floral, green character against a powdery, creamy and woody base.

Being unisex, it sits comfortably on men and women alike, and suits anyone who wants something calm that stays close to the skin. The top pairs angelica seed with ambrette, giving a lightly spicy, green start. At the heart, iris, sandalwood and hawthorn lead, with the floral side resting on a powdery, woody footing. Tonka bean and frankincense in the base dry it down toward something creamy and warm. Gucci Tears of Iris and Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur have a close profile.
