    Description

    This Grand Affair by Blocki Perfume Co. is an opulent tribute to the splendor of a bygone era, evoking the elegant festivities and lavish indulgence of the Gilded Age. It opens with a joyful burst of grapefruit, neroli, and davana oil—radiant and sparkling—before unfolding into a sophisticated heart of Bulgarian lavender, rose d’orient, and luminous petitgrain. As the scent settles, decadent vanilla, creamy tonka bean, and warm musk mingle with a gentle touch of patchouli, leaving a powdery, nostalgic finish that lingers with vintage refinement. A modern interpretation of classic perfumery, this fragrance blends vibrancy and comfort for memorable, grand occasions. Perfumer: Kevin Verspoor
