Base Notes: Tonka Bean

Verge of Rest opens with a vivid, juicy arrangement of black currant, peach and raspberry, underscored by an unexpected hint of coffee and bright bergamot. The combination is lively and immediately appealing. The heart transitions into a lush floral bouquet — tuberose and jasmine sambac provide creamy richness, while Bulgarian rose and orris add a powdery, romantic dimension. Orange blossom weaves through the mid-phase with a gentle, honeyed sweetness. The dry-down settles on a single, confident base note: tonka bean, wrapping the composition in warm, vanilla-like comfort that lingers gently on the skin.

Office, daily errands, casual social events, romantic day dates, church, and family gatherings. Verge of Rest is an easy crowd-pleaser that generates compliments without demanding attention.

Climate & Wear Advice

The fruity and floral top notes of Verge of Rest open brightly in warm climates's warm weather — expect the opening to be vivid and slightly accelerated. In the the heat, apply two sprays for everyday wear; the tonka dry-down will warm beautifully on sun-kissed skin. During the rainy season, the florals diffuse gently in the humid air, creating a lovely, skin-close trail. dry-season's dry air may reduce longevity slightly — consider a light application on hair or clothing to extend wear. In air-conditioned environments, the full floral complexity can be enjoyed at a more leisurely pace throughout the day.
