About This Perfume

Acca Kappa Calycanthus comes across as fresh garden florals with honeyed peach. It opens with bergamot, plant sap and neroli, moves into calycanthus, jasmine and peony and settles on orange blossom honey, peach and musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.

This eau de parfum is best in spring and summer and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2003.

Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.

Is it right for you?
