No. 01 — The fragrance

Sweet, Confident Gourmand

Pink pepper, Orange blossom and Pear open the fragrance, moving into Coffee, Jasmine, Bitter almond and Licorice at its heart, before settling into Vanilla, Patchouli, Cedar and Cashmere wood.

As an Eau de Parfum, it sits within Yves Saint Laurent's established designer collection — for anyone drawn to considered, feminine fragrance.

No. 02 — Provenance

This measure's four steps.

The same four steps behind every decant we sell. Documentary photography, no certificates, no claims we cannot show you.

Source 01
A full retail bottle

Your fragrance is measured from the house's own bottle. Nothing is blended or inspired-by.

Record 02
Noted before opening

The bottle's own markings are written down and kept with everything filled from it.

Decant 03
Measured by hand

Glass to glass, in clean conditions, in the measure you chose and no more.

Seal 04
Closed and named

House, fragrance and measure written on the atomiser before it leaves us.

Our position

What leaves us is the same liquid that left the house — only less of it.
