Batch Code History & Reformulations

Documented IFRA reformulations and vintage variation logs.

Curator Dossier: A cult classic. It smells like a vanilla cupcake in a pine forest. It is ethereal, light, and very intimate. The juniper and pine give it a crisp freshness, while the vanilla base makes it cozy. It is notorious for poor longevity, but people buy it anyway because the scent profile is so beautiful.
