About This Perfume
Think bright citrus bloom with creamy sandalwood warmth: that is Adyan Samara. It opens with blood orange, lemon and jasmine, moves into magnolia, neroli and damask rose and settles on sandalwood and vanilla. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2021.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
