Description
201 is a vibrant floral-fruity composition that captures the essence of an English orchard in full bloom. Opening with the crisp, juicy notes of Granny Smith apple and pear alongside sparkling bergamot, the fragrance transitions into a delicate heart of lily of the valley and magnolia, softened by tangy quince. The dry woody base of cedar and vetiver grounds the composition with an earthy sophistication, while a cottony musk provides lasting comfort. This bright, cheerful fragrance evokes the feeling of September's soft light filtered through an orchard—clean, optimistic, and effortlessly charming.
