A unique, singular-note fragrance that smells like your own skin but better, it contains ambroxan, a synthetic molecule that’s a component of ambergris — one of the most sought-after perfumes ingredients.

This clean, floral-musky scent uses technology to preserve nature with the creation of a solar lilac accord that mimics the scent of the lilac flower using green chemistry. This eliminates the need to physically harvest the blossoms, making it the perfect marriage between natural and synthetic ingredients with notes of almond milk accord, solar lilac accord and musk.
