Released in 2015, this fragrance stands as a testament to the brand's mastery of the 'Cologne Absolue' concentration, offering a depth that is rarely found in traditional citrus compositions.

It is more than just a perfume; it is a sensory escape to a sun-drenched orchard, perfectly encapsulating the 'Vivir' lifestyle of effortless sophistication and natural vitality.
