Fragrance Description:

Charles of the Ritz Original for Women EDT, is an extremely rare and saught after powdery oriental-floral scent. It opens with a sparkling, aldehydic burst of citrus (bergamot, lemon), juicy pineapple, and soft orange blossom, then blooms into a rich, creamy bouquet of white and yellow florals—ylang-ylang, tuberose, jasmine, rose, lilac, carnation, and powdery orris—before settling into a warm, honeyed base of amber, vanilla, musk, benzoin, cinnamon, labdanum, vetiver, and cedar. The overall impression is elegant, baroque, and slightly gourmand: shimmering with a sweet, powdery, spicy-woody depth.
