Philos Shine

The first spray is a burst of almonds, strawberries, apples and peaches, playful and sunny. The heart turns floral and soft, with mimosa, rose, broom, orris root and heliotrope. Sandalwood, patchouli, tonka bean, amber, musk and vanilla then form a deeper base, sensual and woody, with a sweetness that stays on the skin.

Fun yet refined, it moves easily from relaxed daytime wear to elegant evenings. Rated at six to eight hours, it shines in spring and summer, for picnics, holidays, weekend lunches and warm nights out, and its balance keeps it from feeling either too sweet or too heavy.
