The New Definition of Luxury – REISA by Truly Yours Parfums
Reisa opens with a bright citrus top note of Italian bergamot accented by the sheer floral softness of lime blossom. Its lush, full bodied floral middle note accord of tuberose, orange blossom, jasmine, and stargazer lily is supported by notes of warmth and depth. Anchored with a hint of woody oud, prized for centuries for its complexity and romance, adds a sensuous depth and builds endless mystery, dancing among sweet vanilla and modern patchouli. This sexy base note accord is as feminine and sensual as the woman who wears it! However you wear Reisa, make it truly yours. I have received SO many compliments on it when I wear it out. Everyone loves the smell!
