Description
Ivory Lace
For the woman who knows the rules so well, she rewrites them in perfect cursive.
Some moments aren't loud. They're laced in quiet decisions. A glance in the mirror. A hand over the heart. A woman in soft fabric, preparing for what comes next: a wedding, a move, a shift, a becoming. Ivory Lace is the scent of holding on to femininity in the middle of change. Of still choosing softness. Of knowing elegance isn't weakness, and vanilla isn't naive. It's memory, skin, and grace, stitched into something new.
The crisp, sunlit burst of calamansi, like a secret shared over iced tea on a veranda. It settles into the heart of powdery, precious orris butter and velvety violet, the scent of a love letter read once, then tucked into a ribboned journal. The dry-down is a masterclass in quiet luxury: vanilla that speaks in a library hush, sandalwood that feels like a well-tailored blazer, and a musky warmth that says, I belong here.
Wear it when you need to feel like your own ancestor, the one future generations will talk about.

Ivory Lace is a powdery floral with a soft vanilla heart and a clean, grown-up finish. It opens on tart calamansi and cool lime, then settles into violet, powdery iris and dewy lily of the valley. As it dries down, creamy vanilla, smooth sandalwood, soft musk and a little dry cedar keep it close to the skin, composed and calm, like a woman who has already decided.

The Spray Perfume (Alcohol Based · Eau de Parfum)Tap to open
All about our Spray Perfume
Sillage
Moderate (5 out of 10)
A soft, powdery trail about an arm's length out for the first two hours, calamansi first and violet right behind it. By hour three the vanilla and musk draw it in, and it wears as a clean skin scent for anyone close enough to hug you.
Longevity
Moderate on skin
Estimated 5 to 7 hours on skin. It holds on to cardigans, collars and silk scarves into the next day, and it goes longer layered over the Body Butter.

All about our Alcohol and Hydrating Aloe Body Mists
Sillage
Alcohol Mist
Intimate to moderate (4 out of 10)
A crisp cloud of calamansi and violet for the first hour, then a soft bubble about an arm's length out. It lingers longer in a scarf or a cardigan.
Hydrating Aloe Mist
Intimate (3 out of 10)
Soft and close from the first spritz, more iris and violet than citrus. Mostly for you, and whoever stands close enough to notice.
Longevity
Alcohol Mist
Short to moderate on skin
Estimated 4 to 6 hours on skin, longer on clothes. Mist it over the Body Butter and it goes further.
Hydrating Aloe Mist
Short on skin
Estimated 2 to 3 hours on skin, a little longer on clothes. A quick refresh before the meeting or the dinner. Layer it over the Body Butter to stretch it.
Concentration
Poured within this scent's IFRA limit
Same for both mists.

All about our Body Oil, Roll-On and Solid Perfume
Sillage
Body Oil
Intimate to moderate (4 out of 10)
Worn all over, so it carries more than a dab, a creamy, powdery glow about as far as a hug. Within a couple of hours it melts into a soft skin scent.
Roll-On
Intimate to moderate (4 out of 10)
It stays where you roll it, wrists, neck and behind the ears, but it carries more than you'd expect. Noticed whenever someone leans in close enough to catch the violet.
Solid Perfume
Very intimate (2 out of 10)
A skin scent from the first swipe, creamy and powdery. Yours alone, until someone gets close.
Longevity
Body Oil
Short to moderate on skin
Estimated 4 to 6 hours on skin, light on clothes since it sinks right in. Smooth it on damp skin after a shower, and it goes longer under the Spray Perfume.
Roll-On
Moderate on skin
Estimated 5 to 7 hours on skin. It stays put, so there's not much on clothes. Roll it over the Body Butter for extra staying power.
Solid Perfume
Short to moderate on skin
Estimated 4 to 6 hours on skin, and almost nothing on clothes. Keep it in your purse for touch-ups, and layer it over the Body Butter to stretch it.
Concentration
Poured within this scent's IFRA limits
Same for all three.

All about our Hair Perfumes
Sillage
Hydrating Hair Mist & Hair Wave Mist
Very intimate (2 out of 10)
A soft breeze of violet and lime when you flip your hair or pin it up. Then it stays near.
Argan Gloss Hair Mist
Intimate (3 out of 10)
The one people notice most. A bright, powdery glow when you move, strongest in the first hour.
Argan Milk Hair Mist
Very intimate (2 out of 10)
Creamy and close. The vanilla shows up when someone leans in for a hug.
Longevity
Hydrating Hair Mist & Hair Wave Mist
Short in hair
Estimated 2 to 3 hours in hair. Light and easy to refresh, so keep it in your bag. Mist it over the Argan Milk to stretch it.
Argan Gloss Hair Mist
Short to moderate in hair
Estimated 3 to 5 hours in hair. It can linger on a scarf or a pillowcase into the next day. Layer it over the Argan Milk for more.
Argan Milk Hair Mist
Short in hair
Estimated 3 to 4 hours in hair. Finish with the Argan Gloss to bring the violet back up.
Concentration
Hair-safe strength
Poured to the IFRA limit for hair on this scent, which is set much lower than for skin. Light, clean, and made to sit pretty in your hair.

All about our Body Butter and Body Butter Shimmer
Sillage
Intimate to moderate (4 out of 10)
Worn all over, so it reads as a real scent, not just lotion. A soft, powdery floral glow for the first hour or two, then a warm, creamy skin bubble.
Longevity
Short to moderate on skin
Estimated 4 to 6 hours on skin. It carries onto your sweaters and sheets, and it's the best base to layer the Spray Perfume or Body Mist over.

The Layering Lab · Mix & MatchTap to open
One woman, four moods. Keep Ivory Lace at the center, then take it brighter, sweeter, warmer, or woodier.
Garden Vows
Lemon Rose Water pours in fresh and petal-bright, so the Calamansi and Lime sparkle and the Violet reads dewy and new. The Iris stays airy over a soft Musk. Wear it to the garden ceremony, the bridal shower, or a spring brunch with the women who raised you.
The First Slice
Wedding Cake brings its soft, frosted sweetness, so the Vanilla turns rich and creamy and the Iris settles in like powdered sugar. The Lily of the Valley keeps it bridal and light. Wear it to the reception, the anniversary dinner, or any day you want to be the sweetest thing in the room.
Unlaced
White Corset wraps it in warm amber and heady vanilla musk, so the Violet turns velvety and the Sandalwood glows. The Musk deepens and the Vanilla goes rich and close on the skin. Wear it to the candlelit dinner, the evening wedding, or the first cool night of fall.
Do Not Disturb
The Silent Treatment brings its minimalist, clean-skin calm, so the Cedar steps forward and the Iris turns cool and dry. The Musk keeps it close and the Vanilla stays barely there. Wear it to the office, the gallery, or any day you would rather be felt than heard.
How to Layer: The French Girl Routine
A scent that lasts all day starts in the shower. Same scent, every layer.

Where to Wear It & When to Wear ItTap to open
Wear This To
- The final dress fitting, when you finally see her in the mirror
- Sunday dinner at the family table, the year you start hosting it
- The bridal shower, yours or your best friend's
- Moving day, boxes packed and the new keys in your hand
- The interview where calm wins the room
- Tea with your grandmother, and every story she tells twice
- A slow afternoon at the museum, the library or the bookstore
- The anniversary dinner, where nobody needs to perform
- A spring wedding in the garden, guest or bride
Best Season
Peak season: Spring. March through May. Cool mornings keep the violet and iris crisp, and the calamansi and lime feel like the first open window of the year.
Also beautiful in: Fall. September through November. The vanilla and sandalwood come forward as the air cools, and the musk turns soft and cozy under a sweater.
Works in: Winter days. December through February, in daylight. The iris and vanilla feel like cashmere indoors. Smooth on the Body Butter first so it holds up in the dry air.
Skip it in: High summer. July and August heat makes the iris and musk heavy and fast. If you wear it then, reach for the Hydrating Aloe Body Mist and keep it light.
Time of Day
Morning through early evening. The calamansi and violet are clean enough for the office and the daylight, and the vanilla and sandalwood carry it softly into dinner. It does its best work in quiet rooms, the kind where people notice how you carry yourself.
How to Wear It by Season
| Season | What to Wear | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Early spring | Hydrating Aloe Body Mist and Silk & Aloe Hydrating Hair Mist | Light and dewy, so the violet and lily of the valley stay fresh |
| Late spring | Alcohol Body Mist and Body Butter Shimmer | Crisp citrus up front over a soft glow, for garden weddings and long lunches |
| Fall days | Body Butter and Argan Gloss Hair Mist | The butter holds the vanilla and musk close all day, and the gloss lifts a little calamansi whenever you move |
| Fall evenings | Body Oil on damp skin, then the Spray Perfume | The biggest trail on the page, warm sandalwood over glowing skin for dinner out |
| Winter days | Roll-On on your wrists and neck, with the Argan Milk Hair Mist | Warm pulse points bring the iris and vanilla up, and the hair milk keeps it creamy |
| Winter nights | Solid Perfume in your bag | Close and creamy for touch-ups, so the musk and cedar stay soft and private |
