About this fragrance
Sambucus opens with a bright, wild burst of citrus and bergamot, the kind of top note that feels foraged straight from a sunlit hedgerow, laced with crisp green leaves and a tropical wink of pineapple.
The heart turns lush and mouthwatering. Juicy peach nectar mingles with radiant jasmine and delicate rose, carried on a sweeping breath of sea air, softened by dewy lily of the valley and a whisper of violet.
It settles into a radiant base of warm amber and clean musk, softened by a pour of vanilla, leaving a captivating, long-lasting trail that feels sun-drenched, airy, and beautifully botanical.
