About The Long Afternoon
The Long Afternoon is built around hay absolute — a material that smells of tobacco, honey and a barn in August — lifted with neroli and lavender so it reads as sunlight rather than farmyard.
It is our easiest fragrance to wear and the one most often bought as a gift. The opening is bright and green; the jasmine arrives at about the hour mark and stays soft, never heady.
It sits closer to the skin than our others by early evening, so it suits offices, warm weather and anyone who dislikes being announced before they walk into a room.
“My second bottle was a refill. Posted the empty on a Monday, had it back on the Saturday with a handwritten batch number on the tag.”
