Let's Pretend

A fruity‑spicy burst of mandarin, pink pepper and saffron opens onto a velvety heart of peach, jasmine sambac and osmanthus. Resinous styrax and benzoin melt into polished woods and soft musk, creating a playful yet elegant unisex Eau de Parfum that moves from bright radiance to smooth, enveloping warmth.

Scent Development and Character

A bright dash of mandarin laced with pink pepper and saffron opens Let’s Pretend in a fruity‑spicy shimmer, before a lush heart of peach, jasmine sambac and osmanthus unfolds with a velvety, almost nectar‑like texture. As it dries down, resinous styrax and benzoin fuse with a polished precious‑woods accord and soft musk, shifting the scent from playful radiance to a smoother, darker warmth that still feels airy rather than heavy.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Editors’ estimate: Versatile for day or evening, with enough brightness for office or casual wear and a warmer resinous-woody base that also suits dinners and social events. Its fruity‑spicy profile feels most at ease in spring and autumn, but can work in mild winter or cooler summer evenings with light application. Best suited to spring and autumn, with enough freshness for mild summer days and enough warmth for temperate winter climates. Sillage is Editors’ estimate: moderate sillage that is noticeable within arm’s length at first, then settles to a softer, more intimate aura after a few hours. Longevity is Editors’ estimate: moderate to good longevity, around 7–9 hours on skin, with resinous and woody notes extending the drydown beyond the initial fruity‑spicy phase.
