Dear Polly takes the form of a letter written from afar to someone dear: it holds her black tea, steeped her way, and the cool clarity of a morning that clears away what remains of the night.
Bergamot and apple open on a fresh, crisp note. Ceylon black tea immediately warms the skin, while underneath, oakmoss, a sensual musk and a black amber lay a soft, slightly smoky base.

Dear Polly in detail
Vilhelm Parfumerie creates fragrances in Paris that each tell a scene inspired by the arts. Dear Polly evokes a Ceylon black tea, made just the way she likes it, on an amber musk: a soft, comforting fragrance between citrus, tea and musks.
The official pyramid opens on bergamot and apple, a fresh, fruity start. The heart is entrusted to tea, slightly smoky and woody. The base brings together oakmoss, musk and amber, a soft, warm, slightly green foundation.
Dear Polly is worn by day, in spring, autumn and winter: at the office, at home, or on a quiet afternoon. It will suit anyone who loves tea fragrances and soft musks.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue come close: Erba Pura Magica by Sospiro shares bergamot, amber and musk; Musc Ravageur by Frédéric Malle brings together bergamot, amber and musk in a hotter amber; Amber Aoud by Roja Parfums pairs bergamot, oakmoss and musk.
