7.8

Lush · 2019

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

6.3

Lush · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

The citrus accord keeps it bright, and the earthy side stays in the background without weighing it down. Don't expect anything sweet or powdery; it feels closer to a walk through a herb garden, fresh and natural. It is unisex and sits comfortably on anyone.

Sweet Pea

7.3

Lush · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Green
