    Today Tomorrow Always Amour is a fragrance that captures the joy of a storybook romance, celebrating the deep and powerful love between two people. Featuring top notes of sparkling orange, lemon and lime, married with heart notes of jasmine and a dry down of creamy sandalwood, the fragrance represents the excitement and anticipation of true love and celebrates the bliss of two hearts ready to experience a lifetime of joy together.

    “The best thing about love for me is that incredible feeling of excitement, the thrill of seeing the person you love and how it just gets your adrenaline going,” shared Olivia Wilde. “It’s so romantic when someone shows up unexpectedly. The most romantic thing anyone’s ever done for me is move mountains to spend more time with me.”
