Stronger With You

Chestnut, vanilla and sage — as an Extrait. Inspired by Stronger With You.

Warm and sweet from the first spray: chestnut with sugar in the opening, sage and lavender underneath keeping it herbal, and vanilla with a hint of smoke in the base. As an Extrait de Parfum the oil concentration is higher, so it feels thicker and lasts considerably longer.

How it develops

Chestnut and sugar open together — roasted, warm, almost like a stall at a winter market. The heart brings herbs and green: sage and lavender, making the sweetness a little sharper and more grown-up. The base is vanilla with a thread of smoke running through it, and that is the secret: sweet, but with an edge that keeps it interesting. As an Extrait everything is thicker and slower than in the Eau de Parfum: the chestnut stays longer, the vanilla is creamier and the smoke holds until the next morning.

Who it's for, and when

Autumn, winter and evenings. For anyone who wears this fragrance daily and doesn't want to reapply. Want the same scent as an Eau de Parfum, for now and then, A-210 is the more affordable way in. Love this sweetness but want toffee and more thickness, see A-330.

How to wear it

One or two sprays on the neck, on moisturised skin, don't rub. This Extrait fills a room — in company one spray is enough.
