High concentration, roughly 20 to 30 percent aromatic oils. Wears long and close to skin, less projection but more intense one-on-one. Meant to be worn sparingly and dabbed rather than sprayed.

Le Parfum de Therese is often described as a unique blend of fruity and woody notes, with many users noting its refreshing melon and tangerine top notes that transition into a rich heart of plum and rose. The base features leather and vetiver, giving it a complex, slightly earthy finish. Enthusiasts appreciate its originality and depth, while some casual wearers find it too unconventional or challenging. It is frequently recommended for spring and summer wear due to its light and fresh character, though it can also be worn in the evening for a more sophisticated vibe.
