Clean at MERIT  •  Vegan  •  Cruelty Free

  • A highly concentrated extrait de parfum (nearly 30% fragrance oil) that melts into skin for a pure, long-lasting scent that wears for over 12 hours. 

  • Developed in Paris using the highest quality natural and safe synthetic extracts. 

  • Instantly familiar yet difficult to describe, it’s a balanced fragrance that wears close to the skin and evolves as you wear it.

  • Inspired by modernist jewelry, the custom glass bottle is designed to sit comfortably in the palm of your hand — a nod to the tradition of fragrance as a timeless accessory.
