How to wear it

1. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck and behind the ears — after moisturising.
2. Allow the fragrance to dry naturally rather than rubbing it in.
3. Mist lightly through the hair from a distance for a soft trail.
4. Layer with an unscented body lotion to extend the warm leather-incense drydown.
