Arden Beauty For Women

Green notes and bergamot open crisp, with rice flower and iris lending an immediate powdery softness.

The middle runs watery and faintly tart — lotus, lily and orchid with rhubarb and a pinch of ginger — before drying down clean on musk, sandalwood and amber. Antoine Lie composed it in 2002, and it has stayed an understated, transparent floral: quiet projection, comfortable through the day and in warm months, and easy to wear around people who dislike strong perfume.

Eau de parfum, 1 oz. For women.
