Description
This hand and body lotion offers a delightful way to experience the vibrant and enduring freshness of Cologne Cédrat. It's designed to be easily absorbed, leaving your skin feeling satin soft and delicately scented. The fragrance itself opens with a zesty burst of Italian citron and bergamot, quickly joined by a lively, spicy kick from Madagascar black pepper and Argentinian pink pepper. As it settles, a unique Paraguayan maté absolute emerges, extending that initial freshness with a subtle, tea-like greenness, creating a clean and uplifting aroma that lingers beautifully on the skin. This adaptation ensures the signature scent is present in a nourishing body product. Perfumer: Aurélien Guichard
