Close To You joined the Brown Shoe portfolio in 2014.
Brand country — the United States: a place that truly knows its way around a great scent. Close To You Brown Shoe — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
One of those fragrances you never forget, even years later. The official website of Brown Shoe — https://www.theoldtamarack.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Close To You unfolds as a living composition, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The style of Brown Shoe is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
In the first seconds you meet radiant lemon-bergamot opening notes: Almond, Grapefruit and Pomelo. Exactly these 3 notes form a sensation of cool purity that is impossible to miss.
When the opening settles you notice Jasmine and Tea carrying a sensual jasmine direction. In the base the line is anchored through Cedar and musk, reinforcing a deep woody trail.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Musc with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood add depth to the backdrop. The profile is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Gourmet, Citrus, Whiteflower and Green. It also reaches into Wood and Musk.
Taken together Close To You reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.
