Clean & citrus

Favor the Bold

Lemon, herbs, black tea, and sandalwood. Light, versatile, confidence restored.

Fragrance Notes: Lemon, herbs, mint + black tea, lavender, sandalwood.

Favor the Bold is effortless confidence. It opens with the brightness of lemon peel and green herbs, fresh and immediate, softened by the quiet depth of black tea and lavender. A trace of mint sharpens the edges, while sandalwood lingers at the base, warm and steady against the skin.

This is fragrance as second skin — light yet full of character, clean yet undeniably present. Easy enough to wear every day, refined enough to elevate the evening. It feels as natural with jeans as it does with formal wear, carrying the same clarity in any setting.

What makes Favor the Bold unique is its balance. It never shouts, yet it cannot be ignored. It is simple in structure, but expansive in effect, proof that elegance does not require complication. It is a fragrance that moves with you, enhancing rather than overwhelming, built for those who leave their mark without raising their voice.

From the perfumer

Why this one exists

Lemon, mint and something green up front, then black tea and lavender with a hint of the sea. It's calm and clean and easy to wear. Sandalwood keeps it close to the skin.
