About the Fragrance

A tribute to nature’s generosity inside the Imaginarium collection — an ode to a fruit that unfolds like an open hand, offering its gifts with abundance. This refined and delicate gourmand creation merges two distinct souls. The radiant juiciness of yuzu, intensified by a luminous medley of sweet citrus, meets a base that is both dense and ethereal. Here, the opulence of velvet orchid intertwines with the soft, enveloping sweetness of vanilla and tonka bean, creating a scent that is as comforting as it is exquisite.
