Today we received a sample of the newest Treading Water fragrance Coeur d'Artichaut ! It was described as a unique summer salad and it did not disappoint.

This is yet another of this house's offerings with a circulating effect. The benzoin and artichoke are tangled together in a constant ballet (as they should be considering they are the stars of the show). There's a pop of citrus in the opening followed by honeyed caramel fruits with a peek of green before landing on the artichoke fully and faithfully.
