Powdery, musky, and oh-so-elegant, Flowerbomb Dew is a clean and fresh springtime scent that takes its time to reveal itself fully.

The scent transitions from the citrusy crispness of bergamot to a heart of delicate rose and powdery iris, finally resting on a soft musky base as it dries down.

Top Notes:

Bergamot, Pear

Mid Notes:

Dewy Rose Accord, Iris

Base Notes:

Heliotrope, Musk

Spring mornings or early summer days are when Flowerbomb Dew shines, a subtle presence that lingers just enough to be remembered fondly.

A fruity opening of blackcurrant and pomegranate moves to a heart of peony and night-blooming jasmine. I love the musky base with its hint of vanilla.

Peony, Night-blooming Jasmine
