Bendelirious

About

Sparkling cherry, champagne, and grapefruit quickly melt into powdery iris and violet leaf. In the drydown, leather, tonka bean, musk, and vetiver turn the scent softer and drier. It wears like a dressed-up opening that settles into an intimate leather trail.

Bendelirious opens with cherry and a champagne accord, giving it a sparkling, sweet, playful start. Juicy grapefruit appears early and adds a cool citrus edge that keeps the opening from feeling sticky. After a few minutes, iris, orris root, and violet leaf come forward, creating a cosmetic, almost lipstick-like effect. In the base, leather, tonka bean, musk, and vetiver take over, and the trail turns drier, softer, and more skin-like. Its character is a contrast between a dressed-up opening and a darker leather finish. It wears especially well in cooler weather and in the evening, when the texture feels fuller. It suits anyone who enjoys fizzy sweetness, powdery iris, and a dry leather drydown.
