Maitha

Anise opens it with a slightly herbal sweetness, unusual and refined. As the oil warms on the skin, a rich caramel note comes forward, creamy and smooth. The base of vanilla, tonka bean and musk holds everything close, leaving a gourmand trail that feels comfortable rather than loud.

Rated at ten to twelve hours, it works in all seasons. Apply a little to the wrists and neck for daily wear, or use it to layer under a spray to add depth and sweetness. The 20ml bottle is easy to carry, and a small amount goes a long way.
