Scent Description
Although called Juniper Reverie, the fragrance is an intensely floral bouquet with strong upfront contributions from Violet, Myrrh, Incense, Lemon, and Amber. The piney, resinous, green of Juniper is present, but an undercurrent wrapping around the fragrance and binding it together. Reverie is an apt epithet, as it has a dreamy, syrupy, sweetness which can only be associated with a meadow of wildflowers in bloom. Although bold in strength, it eminates a calm, perfumed, softness, which is a hallmark of the sophisticated gentleman, and can be worn in almost any setting, at any time.
