It begins with jasmine buds, plucked in June and allowed to hatch before extracting their scent, in order to extract both lush white floral notes and a bright, dewey greenness. Tuberose is harvested in early autumn when the blooms are full, preserving the intense carnality and sweet richness of the majestic flower. Finally, the sandalwood, distilled to rich, woodsy, creamy perfection. The scent is romantic, full-bodied, and invigorating- everything a woodsy floral can and should be. Take a walk through the Gardens of India- we think you'll be surprised at how much you find waiting there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parle Moi de Parfum","offers":[{"title":"100ml","offer_id":46717688447297,"sku":"76713_R","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50ml","offer_id":46717688414529,"sku":"76713","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1ml spray","offer_id":50658719760705,"sku":"76713_S","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/6138\/3745\/files\/76713.jpg?v=1754968735"},{"product_id":"papyrus-oud-by-parle-moi-de-parfum","title":"Papyrus Oud","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2003, Michel Almairac released the instantly iconic Gucci pour Homme, a boldly warm and woodsy men's scent featuring a proprietary \"papyrus wood\" accord that defied the fresh, synthetic trends of the time to become a modern classic.

The result is a scent that feels full but never heavy, distinctive but smooth and surprisingly easy to wear- a true signature scent that, while leaning masculine, smells out-of-this-world good on just about anyone.
