A well-mannered, creamy tuberose from Penhaligon's Portraits Collection, opening with juicy mandarin and pink pepper before a radiant, jasmine-lifted tuberose heart settles into a silky cashmeran-and-sandalwood base. Cast as a fearless conquistadora character within the house's storytelling collection.
