Over her lotion went oil and perfume ? she was very put together from head to toe. It wasn?t just a one-dimensional smell ? there were many different layers?, explained Richie to wwd.To create this perfume, she collaborated with Steve DeMercado of Fragrance Resources and TPR Holdings Company LLC. The composition opens with aromas of juicy blackberries and oranges from Seville, which are followed by golden amber, Moroccan rose, lily of the valley and papyrus, layered over the base of cashmere, sandalwood, sugared patchouli and vanilla absolute.
