The Ruthless Countess Dorothea is a most ferocious matriarch, known for her sharp mind, even sharper wit and a secret fondness for the company of young men and scones! She knows how to host and receive, with impeccable manners, without question. And her scent is similarly refined, reassuring – but you can’t help but notice the surreptitious flame. She opens with a hit of uplifting citrus bergamot that recalls the finest Earl Grey tea. Drink deeper, and you notice the honeyed spice in the air, with red ginger and cinnamon. It's deliciously wearable, with an inviting, creamy vanilla like buttery scones at tea-time. But don't get too comfortable - the furtive glances belie the cozy gourmands - for it seems there's some sherry in the tea and always, the potential of new romance.
