The bottle bears all the hallmarks of the Clarins signature: the curves, the ellipse, the transparency, the gold and red. And at its centre is the heart-shaped atomiser, a subtle, romantic symbol of love.

The spell is cast with a burst of spicy freshness, a bewitching combination of Pink Peppercorns and Blackcurrants. Then whispering of love, the delicate fragrance of Ottoman Rose creates a fleeting feeling of longing before the senses are satiated by the smooth, creamy softness of Sandalwood. A fluid wood, which with the sensual almond-vanilla of Siamese Benzoin, so perfectly embraces and envelops the rose petals.
