MIUTINE

Strawberry opens first, crushed, sun-warmed, a little wild, before citrus sharpens it into something less confection, more mischief.

That first flush of strawberry and citrus softens into a heart of rose, gardenia, and jasmine, plush and slightly indolic, the kind of white floral that lingers on skin rather than air. As the hours pass, the base turns toward brown sugar and bourbon vanilla, grounded by patchouli, oakmoss, and amber into something denser and mossier than the opening ever hinted, sweetness with a spine.

This suits the woman who wears her sweetness with an edge, a leather jacket over something soft, dinner that runs late, a party where the temperature keeps dropping. Fall and winter carry its gourmand chypre weight best; it moves easily from afternoon errands into evening without asking permission.

Projects softly for the first two hours before settling into a 6-8 hour skin scent. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum, 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on market strolls, bookshop hours, and the easy rhythm of a day off. Made for our Fall selection.
