Description & review snapshot

Reviews →

Jean Marais by Serge Dumonten delivers an intriguing mix of rustic greens and rich sweetness. It opens with sharp lavender and sage before settling into a warm, thick honey base. The herbal qualities keep the gourmand elements from becoming cloying on skin, making it a great match for crisp autumn afternoons.
