“Every flower in the garden, arranged perfectly — and somehow not too much.”
Sophia Grojsman's 1985 release for Estée Lauder — a sprawling 30-plus-note floral that became one of the most-prescribed wedding fragrances of the late 80s and 90s. Tuberose and jasmine dominate a soft woody base. Wears across spring through fall, daytime.
