The Story
Eau de Parfum No. 39 is a chypre that feels like a walk through a sun-dappled forest. Dawn Spencer Hurwitz crafted this as a tribute to classic chypres, with a bright citrus opening that gives way to a floral heart and a rich, mossy base. It's elegant, timeless, and surprisingly wearable for everyday.
