SYNOPSIS
Cleo Gordon doesn’t belong but she sees no way out. She’s too beautiful for the small mountain town where she’s spent her whole life, too educated to relate to the locals, and too curious for her own good. Her quest to find light in the encroaching darkness leads her to catalog everything in her life that brings joy, from a slice of cherry pie chased by a cup of black coffee to the sound of a roaring waterfall in the pitch-black night. Her observations of “Life’s Little Luxuries” redefine what it means to be rich in today’s world, but with affluence comes responsibility. How Cleo navigates this new abundance of wealth is seen as both foolish and brilliant, but which is it? 

MEMORIES THIS FRAGRANCE MAY CONJURE

MEMORIES THIS FRAGRANCE MAY CREATE
A pilgrimage to Central Washington, a marathon of magnificent television on the couch with your crush, a new tradition of doing something nice for yourself each and every day

George M. ★★★★★

The rum-soaked tonka and pastry crust notes are what sold me — it's cozy and boozy without being heavy. I sprayed it on before bed and could still catch whiffs of the marzipan sweetness the next morning.

Ella O. ★★★★★

The cherry and saffron hit immediately, but that rum-soaked tonka lingers on my skin for hours like a warm bakery memory. It's decadent without being cloying, and I've already gotten three compliments asking what I'm wearing.

Charlotte Z. ★★★★★

I wasn't sure how the marzipan would play with that heavy patchouli, but it's surprisingly balanced and the cherry note keeps it from being cloying. I've been reaching for it every morning since it arrived, and the rum-soaked tonka comes through beautifully for about six hours on my skin.
