Scento family

Petal Garden. Rose, peony, lily, freesia and other open-air blooms form the heart; fresh to lush, but not heavily creamy.

Secondary: Orchard Fruit. Fruit takes the lead, whether juicy, jammy or sun-ripe, from pear and peach to berries and tropical flesh.

Scento reads it as a spring, summer and autumn scent for day and evening wear.
