In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Police Passion opens with a sharp burst of lemon and cooling mint that quiet down quickly on skin. Lavender steps in during the middle hour, softening the citrus edges before creamy sandalwood and cashmere wood take over the base. It wears as a clean, light aromatic fougere suitable for casual spring mornings.
