Description
The story behind this fragrance
L'Initial opens with bright citrus and white florals—orange and bergamot cutting through creamy jasmine—before settling into a powdered heart of rose and iris. The dry florals fade into warmth: almond and caramel blend with tonka's sweetness, while patchouli and white musk anchor the base in soft, skin-close vanilla. The whole arc feels like silk moving from cool to warm, luminous then tender.
