The Forward

$390.00

Pomelo and lemon open with a brightness that is citrus at its most unambiguous, mandarin warming it before the transition to the heart. Salt arrives there alongside jasmine sambac, and the two create a saline-floral contrast that tonka bean gradually absorbs. Madagascar vanilla and sandalwood in the base are unhurried and creamy, cashmeran giving the finish a warmth that projects quietly.

Why We Carry This

The Forward takes a salt-citrus opening into a vanilla-cashmeran drydown, which is an unusual arc for a citrus fragrance. Benareau's restraint in the heart keeps the transition from feeling abrupt.
