First is an “ICONA” perfume, in vogue for years now. Very unmistakable and persistent. An Ode to femininity, thanks to its floral woody composition. A blackcurrant bud gives this scent its great sparkling personality followed by the richness of a narcissus flower and closing with the sandalwood base notes.
The parfum fragrance opens with a sparkling sensation of fruity notes and Aldehydes. This develops into a warm sensual floral scent. The base is woody yet sweet. Amber gives the fragrance warmth and an exceptional staying power.

We offer NZ’s best prices for a discerning market. Enjoy prices that are a cut above bargain basement and well below department stores. Our fragrances are the genuine article, but it is the integrity or quality of the perfume that matters. There are many reasons why perfumes spoil, often well before they are purchased by the consumer. Heat is the biggest culprit (that we term baked, like wine).
FROM WHOLESALER TO RETAILER
Many perfume discounters use sea freight for a month or so without climate control in a metal container ( New York to Auckland) plus however long they sit on the dock. At Designer Direct we only use Air Freight. Costly but your nose will love you.
CLIMATE CONTROL
The cheaper the fragrance, the less of a bargain you’re getting, and the more likely it was stored with a lack of climate-controlled warehousing. Both our NZ stores where we ship orders from have climate control.
