Gorgeous! opens with Pink Pepper and Mandarin Orange — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. As the opening settles, the composition pivots to its heart of Tuberose, Jasmine Sambac, Tobacco and Orange Blossom. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Guaiac Wood, Cedar, Tonka Bean and Benzoin.
