About this fragrance

Dangerous elegance, bottled with intent. Femme Fatale opens with an irresistible, luminous flash of bergamot and lavender, bright citrus zest, and a snap of orange and lemon, lifted by a whisper of hawthorn that hints at danger to come.

The heart turns plush and mysterious: powdery violet interweaves with dewy lily of the valley, blooming rose, and a whisper of lilac, while crisp green leaves and translucent jasmine cut through a warm dusting of cinnamon for a multi-layered spell.

It anchors itself in a sultry, long-lasting finish, with a heavy blanket of clean, powdery musk settling into a velvety trail that lingers well after you leave the room. Compare to Lush® brand Sex Bomb™.
