Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Here the artisanal signature is felt much more. It’s a fragrance with character, very botanical and with an unexpected twist. Notes and profile: * Top: intense herbal * Heart: aromatic-green with slightly earthy nuances * Base: dry, natural, with an almost medicinal feel Olfactory experience: It’s a walk through a wild garden. The herbal scent is not decorative, it’s realistic, almost raw. It has that niche point that doesn’t seek to please everyone, but to tell something different. Very sensory, very close to the skin, very for those who love the different. (La folie 🤌❣️)
