La Vie Est Belle Intensement - perfect for any winter At Home occasion. Soft but punchy. Present but not overwhelming. Cashmere in a bottle. Not the original. Rich, warm, welcoming, laid back - it makes one feel like one’s life is The White Company made flesh.
Gucci Memoire D’Une Odeur - quiet Sundays in a bottle. After a Saturday night out, you awaken on Sunday morning; no hangover but tired. You shower and wash your hair. Apply a warm and rich body lotion. And then spray this scent and relax as chamomile & almonds come together to soothe the soul.
