The search for happiness begins with your dreams. They can take you in many directions. You might seek a place, a locale that seems to answer your questions. Speak another language. Eat different foods. Smell unique fragrances. Are you happy now? Or you might seek a connection, a person, who seems to respond to your needs. Someone to complete you, someone to cover you, someone to satisfy you. Are you happy now? Maybe. Or maybe not. Maybe you will only find yourself with more questions, more needs. And the happiness is fleeting. So you turn back. Home. Where you know the language, the food, the scents.Home. Where you can be complete on your own.Home. Where you can rest and make new dreams.And how does this feel, to discover the happiness that was there all along? LIKE THIS. NOTESTop: Mandarin, Ginger, Pumpkin AccordMiddle: Immortelle flowers, Neroli, RoseBase: Vetiver, Heliotrope, Musk HOW IT WEARSUpon first smell of Like This, you’re hit with the pumpkin accord immediately – sweet, warm and vegetal. After a second you pick up the zing of ginger and zest of mandarin before the warmer, more floral heart notes appear. The rose and immortelle are simultaneously sweet and fresh, lending a slight crispness to the scent. Underpinned by the dry spice of vetiver and honeyed heliotrope, this fragrance will last 6-8 hours on the skin with a cozy sillage. LORE LOVESLike This is an exceptionally comforting and homey fragrance. Warm, sweet and slightly spiced, like a pumpkin pie or a gingerbread cookie. The scent of treats being baked in a log cabin, snow outside and the fire going, straight out of an American Christmas movie. That said, the citrus and freshness of the florals means that this fragrance can be worn all year round – it’s never too heavy – just soft and delicious.
