Love and Tears

About

A floral-green unisex scent with a cool opening of bergamot, petitgrain, and lavender. The heart stays transparent and white-floral, with dewy lily-of-the-valley and narcissus nuances, while cedar, oakmoss, and styrax create a calm, lightly resinous trail.

Love and Tears opens with a dry green accord: bergamot and petitgrain bring a bitter citrus spark, while galbanum and lavender add a cool herbal edge. Within minutes, it moves into a white-floral heart where jasmine, water jasmine, and orange blossom feel clean and transparent. Lily-of-the-valley and narcissus make the center slightly stricter, with a damp green nuance rather than sweetness. In the base, cedar, oakmoss, and styrax pull everything into a calm, lightly resinous trail. Its character is floral-green unisex, with a polished presence and above-average longevity. It works especially well in daytime, in spring and summer, when you want floral tones with a cool structure. This is for wearers who prefer white flowers in a drier, more restrained style.
