Nectarine Blossom & Honey Notes Breakdown

Nectarine Blossom & Honey opens with Green Notes, Blackcurrant and Petitgrain — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Nectarine and Locust Tree. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: Peach, Plum and Vetiver.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Fruity, Sweet, Green, Fresh — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
